Hey everyone!
As primitive skills gatherings were shut down for a few years and many of them has become less gathering/more entertainment festival (and inaccessible for larger families due to cost), we thought this would be a nice time to create a more informal pack in-pack out gathering, where attendees are the teachers, families can afford to come, and there is more emphasis on just enjoying the weekend with like minded folks. There is dedicated
workshop time - for textiles, fermentations,
dairy (including dairy animal care and meeting the cow and goats), herbal first aid (taught by an herbalist who is an EMT and previous combat medic), tanning rabbit hides, helping to grain
deer hides,
spoon carving etc and they are all free for attendees to watch (teachers can charge for materials). Saturday night is trade blanket time for handmade items.
New Haven KY. You don't have to stay at the
land, there is camping at the Rolling Fork WMA and then two bigger cities about 30 minutes away for more modern lodging.
