Step into a real working model of self-reliant living at the 2026 OSR Homesteading Festival, held June 11–13th, 2026 at Riverbed Ranch in Utah’s west desert.
This is not just a series of classes. It is a chance to walk through an off-grid community where people are already living the principles many are still trying to figure out.
Throughout the three-day event, you will learn directly from residents who produce their own food, generate their own power, manage water systems, and build practical, resilient homesteads. Classes and demonstrations cover essential skills such as gardening, food preservation, animal systems, alternative building, renewable energy, home education, and natural health.
You will also have the opportunity to tour the community itself, seeing how these systems come together in real life, not just theory.
Whether you are just beginning to explore homesteading or looking to take the next step with confidence, this event offers grounded instruction, practical examples, and meaningful connections with others on the same path.
Dry camping is available onsite for those who want to stay and fully experience the environment.
