About

Join us for a weekend of reconnection to craft, heritage farming, biodiverse land, traditional home life and local history.

Folk Wisdom - Our way back, is about inspiring and engaging our community to celebrate the old ways and in doing so, to reimagine a healthy and sustainable future. It incorporates the six strands of CRAFT: hands on traditional skills and cottage industries, FARM: heritage farming crops, breeds and methods, HOME: traditional property restoration skills, LAND: care for our environment, undoing decades of damage, LIFE: rediscovering the natural health and social wellbeing of a simpler time and STORY: capturing the history of the places, people and activities we discover along the way.
