Welcome
to the Institute for Urban Homesteading!
The Urban Homestead classroom is a gathering place to research, ferment
and learn together.
We feature small class sizes and experiential learning.
Our
mission is to
* Offer affordable classes in the art of living in an urban environment
* Preserve a slower, more intentional, more sustainable and more pleasurable
way of life
* Rescue the lost arts of the garden, the kitchen and things done by hand
* Imbue everyday tasks with wonder and beauty
* Promote self-determination and the ability of each person to educate
themselves
The Institute of Urban Homesteading is a response to current interest
in food security, localization and self-determination, We are riding the
wave of a massive global movement to change our relationship to food and
resources. Necessary components of this movement are small-scale person-to-person,
person-to-land based projects. IUH seeks to fill this need and to model
sustainable, local direct-action through education. We intend to conserve
both personal and global resources by staying home and tending the garden. more….
