Festival celebrates farming lifestyle, homesteading culture
A new kind of homesteading festival is taking root in the region. Farmstead Fest 2025, a three-day outdoor gathering at Moonrise Farmstead in Aylett, debuts this weekend with a blend of live music, practical workshops, artisan vendors, and farm-fresh food—designed for those passionate about growing their own food, raising animals, and reclaiming traditional skills.
