OSR Homesteading Festival at Riverbed Ranch

Discover the skills, tools, and ideas behind modern homesteading at the 2026 OSR Homesteading Festival, held June 11–13 at Riverbed Ranch in Utah’s west desert. This three-day educational event brings together homesteaders, educators, and self-reliance enthusiasts for a weekend focused on practical living and sustainable independence.

Guests will have the opportunity to tour a working off-grid community and see firsthand how residents produce food, harvest energy, raise animals, and build resilient homesteads. Throughout the event, presenters will offer classes and demonstrations on topics such as gardening, food storage, animal husbandry, alternative building methods, renewable energy, herbal remedies, home education, and more.

Whether you are exploring homesteading for the first time or looking to deepen your existing knowledge, this festival offers valuable instruction, inspiration, and networking for individuals and families alike. Onsite dry camping is available for attendees wishing to stay during the event.
