Checking in- how's everyone doing this weird, wild summer? We've seen the drought reduced, the flooding turn deadly, the heat soaring, the Cyclospora outbreak (who had *that* on their bingo card for this year?!) and so. much. mud! We personally, are focused in on farming (Anne) and foraging classes (Melissa) and haven't had as much time for this space with the whirlwind that is summer, but we are always thinking of you all and planning for next year. On that note, we do have our vendor applications open if you missed that and we're looking forward to year 4 with you all! We'll put that link in the comments.

You know you might be a little too into your job when you and your co-organizer run into each other at Walmart and you are both wearing your coordinator shirts without planning it. We did not coordinate this- it just happened. Proof that the Mid-MO Homestead Expo lives rent free in our heads year round.

Speaking of living rent free, vendor applications for the 4th Annual Mid-MO Homestead Expo are open and we would love to have you on the floor with us April 9-10, 2027 at the Mathewson Exhibition Center at the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia. Getting your application in early gets you on our radar sooner, and early applicants who pay by January 15th lock in their spot ahead of the rush.

Head to www.midmohomesteadexpo.com/vendors to apply. General admission is always free and we are building something special this year. Come be part of it!

We have an update to share about our fall event plans. After a lot of thought and honest conversation, we have decided to postpone the fall Urban Homesteading Expo to 2027. We want to do it right, and rushing into a new venue, a new market, and a new event format all at once is not the way we do things around here.

The idea is not going anywhere. We are more excited about it than ever and want to make sure that when we bring it to you, it is worth the drive. Thank you for your patience and for cheering us on as we keep building something we are all proud of.
In the meantime, we have plenty to keep us busy - starting with making Year 4 in Sedalia the best one yet!

Vendor applications for the 4th Annual Mid-MO Homestead Expo are officially open! If you are a maker, grower, farmer, educator, or small business who wants to be part of one of Missouri's favorite homesteading events, we would love to hear from you.

This year we are moving into the Mathewson Exhibition Center at the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia, which means more space, more vendors, and more room for the kind of community we have been building together. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and returning vendors receive priority consideration, so do not sit on this one.

Head to www.midmohomesteadexpo.com/vendors to learn more and apply. General admission is always free, and we cannot wait to see what this year's vendor floor looks like!

We have some exciting news to share and we need your help to make it happen.

We are in the early planning stages of a fall Urban Homesteading Expo in the Kansas City metro area, and we are on the hunt for the right venue. We know it is late in the game for a November event and we are being realistic about that - but we also know that the right connection can come from the most unexpected places, and that is where you come in.

We have already reached out to a few venues and are waiting to hear back, but we are casting a wide net because we believe this event is worth fighting for. If you know of a space that might work or have a connection we should talk to, we would love to hear from you.

Here is what we are looking for: a fully indoor space in the KC metro area available November 6th and 7th, 2026. Ideally 9,000 to 10,000 square feet of open floor for vendors and exhibitors, one or more classroom spaces that can seat 50 to 80 people, ample parking for a large crowd, and room for food vendors. That said, we are flexible. We can work with something a little smaller or piece together multiple connected spaces if needed.

Got a lead on a large church fellowship hall? A school with a gym and classrooms? A community center? A conference space? An event hall? We want to hear about it. Drop a comment, send us a message, or email us directly at [email protected].
Help us bring this event to Kansas City this fall!

Big news is coming out of Mid-MO Homestead Expo headquarters, and we could not wait any longer to share it. Mark your calendars: the Spring 2027 Mid-MO Homestead Expo is officially set for April 9th and 10th, and we are moving into the Mathewson building at the Missouri State Fairgrounds. More space, more vendors, more speakers, more of everything you loved about this year.

We are also in the early stages of planning a fall event, so stay tuned for details on that as things come together. We want to make sure we do it right before we shout it from the rooftops.

In the meantime, we are getting close to opening things up for vendors and speakers/teachers for the spring expo. If you have been thinking about applying or know someone who would be a great fit, now is a great time to follow this page and sign up for our email newsletter at www.midmohomesteadexpo.com so you do not miss a single announcement. Drop a comment or share this post with someone who should be in the room!

Did you know: when she's not answering emails and coordinating with speakers, Melissa is a foraging educator? She's your super local resource for identifying what's growing in your yard and how to use it.

This is the kind of thing you don’t get from a YouTube video.

Watching someone work, asking questions in real time, seeing the process up close… there’s just no substitute for it.

We had some incredible speakers sharing real, hands-on skills this year, and we’re already working on bringing even more of that into next year’s event.

What’s a skill you’ve always wanted to learn but haven’t yet?

There’s always that one booth you stop at “just to look”… and then somehow you’re still there 20 minutes later.

Happens every time.

Between the conversations, the creativity, and the personalities behind the tables, it’s hard not to get pulled in.

That’s the kind of energy we’re building on for next year.

Make sure you’re following along as we start sharing updates… it’s already in the works.
