Riverbed Ranch to Host 2026 OSR Homesteading Festival This June

Now entering its third year, the OSR Homesteading Festival has quickly become one of Utah’s most unique gatherings for those interested in practical self-reliance, off-grid living, and sustainable homesteading. Hosted within the thriving off-grid agricultural community of Riverbed Ranch, the three-day event offers attendees an immersive opportunity to learn directly from experienced homesteaders and specialists living the lifestyle every day.

Festival guests will enjoy guided tours of the Riverbed Ranch community, including its homes, gardens, livestock areas, greenhouses, and off-grid infrastructure. Educational presentations and demonstrations throughout the weekend will cover a broad range of homesteading topics, including:

• Growing your own food
• Raising homestead animals
• Building homes, barns, and greenhouses
• Sustainable off-grid living practices
• Thriving in Utah’s high-desert climate
• Utilizing local land and resources effectively

In addition to classes and tours, attendees can visit vendor and educational booths to explore the tools, methods, and systems used by Riverbed Ranch residents to produce food, educate their families, and build a more self-sufficient way of life.

“Our goal is not simply to talk about homesteading, but to show people what it actually looks like in practice,” organizers said. “Visitors will see firsthand how an off-grid agricultural community functions and leave with practical knowledge they can apply in their own lives.”

Dry camping accommodations are available onsite for guests wishing to stay for the full event.
