Secular and rooted with a deep love of learning, The Lil’ Homesteaders is our bi-weekly co-op. It is parent led and welcoming of all ages and stages.

Our year begins around the Autumnal Equinox and ends just before the Summer Solstice.

We are not a drop-off, and are 100% volunteer run.

Seasonally, we love to host our local homeschool community with a set of enrichment classes.

There are currently two levels. The Bees (ages 2-6) and The Badgers (ages 7-13). These classes have limited slots and availability is first come, first serve.

We teach our classes with a focus on environmentalism, traditional skills, and hands-on learning. Of course, we’re Waldorf inspired but do not adhere to a strict Steiner policy.

Closed until…? (We’re Moving!)

Willow Weaving

Learn the basics of creating art with willow branches. Be introduced to basic tools, the history of the willow, and create something fun.

Wool Felting

Based on age and experience, learn to wet felt or needle felt using wool from our own flock.

Wool Dying

Enjoy a fun and creative afternoon dying your very own roving. Meet the sheep and see the basics of hand processing wool while you’re here.

Knitting | Crochet | Nalbinding

While I do not teach all three at once, I will rotate between these three fiber arts and cover the basics as we create a simple project.
