Modern Homesteading w/ Ilene Freedman

November 7, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

$12.00 – $15.00

How do I begin to learn the skills it would take to call my household sustainable or self-sufficient? Ilene Freedman of House in the Woods Farm will share her family’s story to inspire your own path to sustainability. Ilene will share her family’s tips, challenges, and lessons learned along the way. We will end with plenty of Q&A and an opportunity to network with others in our community who are working toward similar skill-building goals.

Ilene White Freedman operates House in the Woods organic CSA farm with her husband, Phil, in Frederick, Md. Ilene has a master’s degree in Environmental Psychology and Behavior from The University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment. The Freedmans are the 2013 MOTHER EARTH NEWS Homesteaders of the Year.
