EXPERIENCE LIVING

Farm to Table

In COMMUNITY

Every woman needs a village. Join us monthly as we gather elbow to elbow to cook, bake, craft, learn and grow – both in homesteading knowledge and the friendships that naturally form as you consistently work side by side with women that share the same interests as you. 

These groups meet in-person at our farm in Spokane, Washington. To learn more about our online option click here: Homemade All Year

ABOUT THE GROUPS

In 2022, we were a few years into our homesteading/farming journey. It was a lot of work, time consuming, and most of all – lonely.

I (Amanda) found myself longing for friends who shared my interests. I wanted to have other women who had the same passion for growing, making, and creating in my life. When I confided this to Jake, he laughed and said, “The problem is, you and everyone like you never slow down enough to make time for friends!”

He was absolutely right. But I was tired of being too busy for what mattered most, and I was ready to prioritize community.

So I asked myself: If I could design the perfect night out that I’d actually make time for, what would it look like?

That question sparked the birth of the “Homesteading Women’s Group” in our Spokane community—and the response was overwhelming. What started as a simple idea became so much more than I ever anticipated.

Year 1: We weren’t sure if we could fill one group. We ended up with two!

Year 2: Our waitlist grew so long we opened 4 groups—and they all filled within weeks.

The most incredible part? Watching each group of women walk in as complete strangers on night one, and gradually transform into a close-knit circle of friends by year’s end. Many of the women say to me, “This has been the highlight of my year, I look forward to it all month!” and, “This has been life changing, I feel like I finally found my people.” 

If this sounds like the kind of thing you have been looking for too, then I hope you’ll join us!

Keep reading for all the details about the year ahead, then fill out the application at the bottom of this page to join. I would love to welcome you into this amazing community!

Can’t meet in person? We’ve heard you! Due to popular demand, we now offer “Homemade All Year”—our online version that brings the same community and learning right to your home. [Learn more here] or find it in our “courses” menu.

MEETING DETAILS

Each group meets from 5:30-8:45 pm once a month, on the designated day (see below for schedule). 

There are 12 women per group, and registration is open until spots are filled. After that, the groups are closed for the year. 

Here is how a typical meeting goes:

  1. Dinner: We start by preparing some component(s) of a meal together (much of the meal will be prepped in advance to save on time). Many of the ingredients will have been grown on our farm, but the rest will be locally sourced organic foods. I will share recipes for everything we make so that you are able to reproduce these meals for your own household.
  2. Discussion: We then sit down to enjoy the meal together. Every month we have a discussion topic with the goal of getting to know each other better. Each month, the conversations get more and more deep and thought provoking. Every month, at least a few ladies remark, “This is so refreshing, I can’t talk about this stuff anywhere else!” You’ll have to take my word for it but the dinner discussions are often the highlight of the night!
  3. Lesson: After eating, we move on to the skill or craft portion of the evening. These lessons focus on the practical day to day application of preserving, cooking, baking, fermenting and eating seasonally year round.
  4. Dessert & time to chat. The lesson is typically over around 8pm. Some women leave around 8pm because of work or kids, but most of the group hangs out until 8:30-8:45pm. 

{Some of the} Lessons:

  • Sourdough (made simple)
  • Milling, cooking, baking and making sourdough with ancient grains
  • Making & using medicinal remedies from medicinal herbs we have grown & foraged 
  • Rendering lard & tallow
  • Making tallow balm & salves
  • Water bath & pressure canning
  • How to process chickens (yes, we actually process chickens start to finish as a group!)
  • Soap making with lard & tallow
  • Fermenting fruits & vegetables (apple cider vinegar, sauerkraut, etc)
  • Kombucha & water kefir
  • How to make dried floral arrangements

Take home supplies:

At the first meeting, members receive a binder. Every month, they receive the notes, instructions and recipes for the month’s lesson and dinner. By the end of the year, members have over 200 pages of information so that they can keep referring back to what they learned indefinitely.

Almost every month, members also leave with something they crafted or something that pertains to the lesson learned. Some examples: medicinal herb remedies (fire cider, garlic honey ferment, etc), soap, tallow balm, a fall wreath they crafted, home canned jam, etc. 

Example itinerary of a typical meeting:

Before each meeting, I send out an email with the itinerary, meal plan, and discussion topic for the upcoming meeting. It looks something like this:

NEW FOR 2025-2026:

Access to online video lessons

There will now be video lessons for everything taught in class. Following the meeting, these videos will be released for group members to access.

For example, following the in-person meeting on sourdough, members will gain access to video lessons that walk through what sourdough is, a step by step tutorial on how to make a loaf of sourdough, how to feed your starter, and more. 

We are very excited about this new addition for 2 reasons: 

  1. In the past, when members missed a meeting there was no way for them to “make up” the class – they just missed the material. Now, if a member needs to miss, she can still get all the information at home!
  2. Many past members gave us the feedback that while the in-person lesson was great, they wished they had a way to re-watch it at home so that it was easier to make sure they were doing everything right once they were trying it on their own. 

The video lessons will solve both of these problems and make the overall experience of the year that much better for our members!

With the addition of our online video lessons to support our in-person lessons, members will also receive our bonus “Chicken Keeping” Course & Booklet that includes:

  • An overview on chicken types & breeds – how to choose the right breed for your situation
  • From egg to hen: how to breed, incubate, hatch, brood and raise chicks, pullets, and chickens
  • How to choose the right coop for your backyard
  • Chicken supplies you do and don’t need
  • DIY chicken feed, feed storage, DIY feeders and waterers, etc
  • How to set up a coop so that you can easily go on vacation (or minimize chores)
  • How to order, raise and process meat birds
  • How to easily preserve eggs for up to 18 months
  • And much more!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Is this group for you?

Our goal is to put together a group of women that are committed to participating for an entire year. In order for community and friendships to form, it is important that we have both a group of committed ladies coming and that we don’t have new people coming and going. 

For that reason, registration is one time per year and there is NO joining after the first meeting. I also don’t allow members to come to other group meetings if they can’t make their own meeting (for the same reasons listed above).  

The goal of this application process is not to find the most homesteady women of Spokane LOL. If you have been a farmer/homesteader for decades OR if you have zero homesteading experience and only the desire to learn these skills from you apartment, this group is for you!

The application process is to help us find women who are willing to commit to the group, and to help us create groups with well balanced age, backgrounds and experience levels. 

Before you apply, here are a few things to know about us:

  • We (Jake and I) are Christians and our faith/beliefs will be mentioned because they are the core of everything we do. But.. You do not have to be a Christian to join, you just have to be okay with the fact that we are 😉
  • We pray over meals.
  • We believe that whether to mask or not to mask is a personal freedom that every individual has the right to choose. If you feel masking is necessary, we will honor that choice and we expect that you will honor our choice not to.
  • Storms, sickness, and unforeseen circumstances happen- we will do our best to reschedule, reimburse, etc to make it work for everyone. (In 4 years of teaching classes, we have yet to cancel a class)
  • We are not medical professionals and any information I/we share regarding treating the body is merely a suggestion based on personal experience and research.

After you submit your application, you will hear from us within a few days about final registration steps (or if the group is full we will let you know that we don’t have any spots left).

PAYMENT DETAILS:

The cost of this class is $165/month 

Cost includes:

  • A different homemade farm-to-table dinner, dessert, and drinks like kombucha and chai tea every month. 
  • 200+ page full color course binder filled with lesson notes, quick reference tutorials, and recipes for everything (no gatekeeping recipes!!)
  • Take home goodies like fire cider, natural tallow soap & balm, dried floral wreath, sourdough starter, kombucha starter & SCOBY, jam, etc. 
  • A different hands on lesson/s each month. 
  • Homemade All Year Video lessons so that you can keep referencing & rewatching the lessons for life! ($65/month value)

We have a subscription payment method for group members that automatically charges a credit or debit card on the same date each month (of your choosing). 

First payment is made in September, the last payment will be made in August of 2026.

If you need to miss a class, you will be able to pick up any material/take home goods you missed the following class. You will also be able to watch the online video lessons at home.   

Please note: If you miss more than two payments and are unwilling to work with us on catching up, we will ask that you stop attending the meetings and you will no longer have access to the online course & video lessons. With all that being said, we understand that life happens! If you’re in a tough spot, just communicate that with us because we’ve been there and we get it 😉
