Learn from 20 experts how to raise livestock successfully for fresh, homegrown meat, eggs, and dairy during this free virtual event!
Raising your own livestock for meat and dairy is an incredibly rewarding experience but it could cost a ton of money if you make mistakes... trust me.
You've got a lot on your plate as a homesteader already. Maybe you've got a big garden, you're canning or you have a flock of egg chickens, but you know there's so much more that you can do to become more self-sufficient. Maybe you want to...
You can have all of these things.
The best part: It doesn't have to be complicated.
Learn how during the Homestead Livestock Summit!
"I wish I had discovered Shelby DeVore when I started gardening last year. The Backyard Vegetable Gardener's Summit that she hosted was both informative and inspiring! In her classes, she does a great job of giving you the nuts and bolts for the basics and explains complex topics simply and clearly. I was armed with much better information to get started this year and I can finally stop Googling the things that are not going quite right in the garden."
-Danette Cathcart
"I’m a seasoned homesteader with 40+ years of experience. I was interested in the summit to find ideas for choosing better what I really need to be doing for my husband and I on the farm. I was able to get some good information from the summit and enjoyed all of the little extras (info sheets, etc.) that were given. At my age, I tend to print out everything so that when I can’t remember, I have good resources to go to. Purchasing the All Access Pass is great because I like the idea of always having the information easy to find. Thank you for offering this summit. It was very enjoyable and informative. I will be looking back on the All Access Pass often I believe."

20 experts over 4 days will teach you proven strategies that will help you to cut feed costs and raise healthier, more productive animals with less work.
Maybe you're...
Whatever it is for you, it’s time to start successfully raising your own livestock to put real, home-raised food on your table.
I’m a multi-generational homesteader with over 20 years of experience raising livestock at home. Not only have I raised nearly every species in the book, but I’ve got a unique perspective on raising animals for food.
I’ve got both a Bachelor’s degree in Animal and Dairy Science and a Master’s degree in Agriculture. I spent several years teaching high school and college agriculture. I was an FFA advisor for several years also and taught numerous students how to manage and care for their animals.
Most livestock experts are either ‘experts’ because they’ve raised animals successfully with no prior experience or they spent thousands getting an education about raising animals with little real-world experience. I have the unique perspective of doing both. I want to teach you the best methods to raise healthy animals that will put real food on your table, whether you’re looking for eggs, honey, meat, or dairy.
I created the Homestead Livestock Summit to help you to raise livestock successfully for fresh, homegrown meat, eggs, and dairy. Join me and 16 other experts to learn how to raise more healthy, nutritious food, right in your backyard.
The Homestead Livestock Summit will run from October 23-26, 2023 with a variety of presentations to choose from each day. During the first three days, enjoy educational presentations from experts. On the fourth day, join Shelby live to meet and create a plan of action for you to get started with livestock.
I don't know about you, but I prefer to leave my house as little as possible. With that being said, you can tune into the summit from the comfort of your couch and muck boots.
Presentations will be about 30 minutes in length. The presentations will be available for 24 hours to encourage you to stop waiting for the right time and take action along with thousands of other homesteaders.
You’ll also have access to a private Facebook group for the summit where we’ll be partying it up before the summit starts and working together to raise livestock once it kicks off.
After registering, you can also upgrade to gain access to the All-Access Pass. That means you'll get lifetime access to presentations and speaker bonuses. You won't want to miss it!
As an attendee, you’ll have the chance to win prizes based on engagement and giveaways. In fact, entries are being awarded right now in the Facebook group. Come on in and join the fun!
"Thank you so much for this summit! I bought the All Access Pass because I work a lot and I have a toddler. I was so sure I would miss the live presentations, and I was right. So I’m happy that I can watch them at my own pace and use them for a reference in the future. They will be watched for years to come. Thanks again!"

Food systems today are broken.
Covid, lockdowns, and the economy have revealed what many seasoned homesteaders were starting to realize... the food systems today are broken.
You've likely noticed a sharp increase in the price of everything, but food is non-negotiable. You're forced to buy what's there to feed your family in order to survive. What if I told you that you could produce higher-quality food, at home, for less than you could buy it at the grocery store?
There's a reason that homesteading is the go-to for people when times are tough. It's a proven, reliable way to work around broken food systems. Start raising livestock for home-grown meat, eggs, and dairy.
Not sure where to start?
The Homestead Livestock Summit is the perfect place to start. Grab your ticket below and join me and 16 other experts to learn how to get started.

"Thanks for a great summit! I am very glad to have purchased the All Access Pass, as I am still working my way through the presentations and there was great bonus content. I thought that the speakers were very generous with information. I will be enjoying this for quite some time and am very happy to have this resource! It was well worth the money. This summit exceeded my expectations!"
- Danette Cathcart
"When I attended one of these summits in the spring, I was blown away. I didn't buy the All Access Pass at first because I wasn't sure that it would be worth it. There are so many digital products and events that just aren't all they're chalked up to be. I expected to get a couple of tips, but not much else. By the end of the summit, I had a list of new ideas and things that I was going to try. I knew that I'd want to come back to the content over and over again, so the All Access Pass was a no-brainer."
- Daryl Harris
"This summit was AMAZING. I've been doing this for over 30 years, so I didn't think I would actually learn a whole lot. I stopped trying to take notes about an hour into the first day because there was so much good information. I decided to buy the All Access pass and give my wrist a break! It's worth its money in gold! I can't wait to start trying some of these new ideas out!"
- Laura Ledford
IS THIS ONLY FOR HOMESTEADERS?
It sure is! There are a lot of offerings out there for farmers and homesteaders, but this one has been created specifically for people who are raising or want to raise their own animals for food and want to learn how they can put even more home-grown meat, dairy, or eggs on the dinner table.
WHEN IS THIS WHOLE THING HAPPENING?
The summit runs from October 23-26th, 2023. We'll kick off on October 22nd with an opening call and the Facebook community will be available right when you get your ticket!
Be sure to join each day- we'll have exciting lessons, fun prizes and giveaways and you'll walk away with a ton of knowledge and a clear plan for adding livestock to your homestead.
HOW LONG WILL THE VIDEOS BE AVAILABLE?
Each video will be available for 24-hours. However, you can grab the All-Access Pass to get lifetime access to all of the videos, exclusive Q&A sessions, courses, mentorships, digital guides and more!
WILL ALL THE SPEAKERS GET MY EMAIL ADDRESS?
No! I know how annoying it can be to have your inbox flooded with useless information and emails from people that don’t have anything useful for you. The only people that will get your email address are the people that you choose to give it to. For example, all of the speakers will have places where you can sign up for their emails. The only speakers that will get your email address are the ones that you give it to specifically.
Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
ARE THE PRESENTATIONS LIVE?
To avoid tech glitches, save my sanity, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at the scheduled time. There will be some VIP sessions throughout the summit that take place live if you purchase the All Access Pass.
Some of our presentations and sessions will take place live on Zoom so you can ask homesteading expert and the summit founder, Shelby, questions and get her advice. For all other presentations, the live portion comes in with the speakers being in the chatbox for an hour after their presentation is released!
ARE YOU STILL ACCEPTING SPEAKERS?
All speaker positions have been hand-picked and are currently filled. We're open to additional affiliates or potential speakers for this year's and next year's summit. If you're interested in affiliate details or being considered for the Homestead Livestock Summit 2024, email support@farminence.com!
ARE THE VIDEOS CAPTIONED OR TRANSCRIBED?
