What To Expect

A Real Working Homestead

Pathways is a small, living homestead, which means you're stepping onto a real working piece of land. you may be greeted by our ducks and chickens, see projects in progress and notice how the land is always growing and evolving. it is not a fancy resort or facility; it's a place where the learning is authentic. 

Simple comforts

Our classroom is equipped with a small refrigerator, hotplate and microwave so you can keep and prepare food during your time here. weekend students are welcome to camp on the property. we have an outdoor restroom available and occasionally open up the sauna for weekend guests. we also have fire pits to gather around after class for the overnight guests.

What to bring

Because Pathways does not have lodging, the weekend students should come prepared to camp bringing everything you need for an overnight stay. Dressing and packing for the weather. Camping on the land is a great way to incorporate what is taught here, being self-sufficient/prepared, and connecting to the land.  

You will need to pack your own meals. Even though some of the courses will craft a meal together, it's always good to pack something just in case you find you do not like it,or have allergies. 

Remember to bring a pen and paper to take notes on.
