We just wrapped up the first annual Modern Homesteading Conference in beautiful North Idaho. It was an incredibly jam-packed four days of VIP dinners, workshops, speakers, and so much community connection and inspiration to last a year.

In today’s Pioneering Today Podcast (episode #397), I’m recapping the conference and giving a peek at some of the behind-the-scenes events (and, dare I say, miracles) that took place.
If you missed the event this year, we already have the Kootenai Fairgrounds in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, booked for next year’s event. Grab your tickets at Modern Homesteading Conference and join us on June 28-29, 2024.
