Homesteading for Health

VCC sponsors a monthly event called “Homesteading for Health.” We meet at 6 PM on the first Monday of most months (in November 2023 it will be the third Monday). We usually have an informal discussion with one of our regulars talking about a topic related to healthy living and rural lifestyles. During the harvest season we also host "Harvest Exchange" which allows neighbors to share and exchange produce from their farms or gardens.

The following is a list of some of the topics we've covered:

Weed Management

Introduction to Permaculture

Maintaining Poultry Health

Herbalism

How to Prepare Herbal Tinctures

Preparing Cordials for Cooking

Making Apple Cider Vinegar

Companion Planting and Garden Planning
