Gather & Grow
At Feral Ridge Ranch, we invite you to gather, learn, and grow alongside a community rooted in slow, intentional living.
Join us for hands-on workshops—both in-person and virtual—focused on homesteading skills, off-grid living, and seasonal rhythms.
We strive to bring people together for food, laughter, and shared connection with the land. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned steward, you’ll find space here to build skills, confidence, and community.

Homestead Honeys: January Meet-Up
Homestead Honeys is a labor of love. I coordinate these gatherings freely because I believe deeply in bringing like-minded women together to learn, connect, and build community.
If you’d like to help support the coordination of these events, you’re welcome to contribute. Donations help cover things like my time, snacks, supplies, website and platform fees, email services, and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps these gatherings happening.
There’s no obligation, your presence is always enough. But if you’re able and willing to support, it truly helps keep this community growing.
Thank you for being part of it!

The Abundant Year: Grow, Harvest, and Eat Well All Year Long
The Abundant Year: Grow, Harvest, and Eat Well All Year Long (Virtual Event)
Homestead Honeys - Visit to Lara's Luffa
Curious about growing luffa? Lara of Lara’s Luffas has invited us to her very own garden to learn more about how to grow luffa and all of it’s amazing uses.
Lara has maintained a garden for over 3o years alongside her husband. Years ago she looking for plants that would be great pollinators and I expanded her garden to include Luffa.
This led to an explosion of Luffa, which she then learned how to harvest and dry. She began using these Luffa Sponges in my kitchen for cleaning dishes, fruit, vegetables and eggs from our chickens and in the bath. Looking for alternative uses for her Luffa Sponges, she began to hand pour Luffa embedded soap - glycerin and goat's milk.
Learn more about Lara’s Luffa here.
