Through his homestead and his popular YouTube channel, An American Homestead, he teaches and advises individuals who are interested in off-grid living, homesteading, and practical self-sufficiency. Zac brings real-world experience, inspiring stories, and valuable insight into what it truly means to live intentionally and independently. His passion for educating others and preserving traditional ways of living makes him a powerful and fitting voice for this year’s Shindig.

Cheese Maker

Sara Avrams

Sara has a passion for transforming fresh, quality ingredients into handcrafted cheeses. She enjoys sharing her knowledge of the cheese-making process and the craftsmanship that goes into every batch.

Each year, one of the highlights of the Shindig is the chance for attendees to taste some of Sara’s delicious cheeses, and this year she will also be demonstrating the cheese-making process. It’s a great opportunity to learn how simple ingredients can be turned into something truly special.
