Join us for the ALL NEW West Coast Homesteading Expo!

Our debut event will take place at the Washington State Fair Event Center serving all of Western Washington and beyond!

People in the PNW are ready to develop, grow, and embrace a homesteading lifestyle. Now we just need the connection to vendors, experts, and community to achieve it, and that is what the West Coast Homesteading Expo is for.

We are excited to share micro farming, urban gardening and farming, and homesteading at any scale. The expo will feature workshops, live demonstrations, vendors with products to support homesteading, expert exhibitors, livestock/backyard animals, and of course the famous Fair Scone truck.

Don't miss the only Homesteading Expo in the South Puget Sound!
