🌾 “There are some places that simply keep calling you back.” – Rory Feek shares the homesteading festival his family loves most
Not every unforgettable journey is defined by a famous destination or a grand event. Sometimes, the places that leave the deepest mark on our hearts are the ones that remind us to slow down, appreciate life’s simple blessings, and reconnect with what truly matters.
For Rory Feek, that place is the homesteading festival he now calls the greatest homesteading event he’s ever attended.
As harvest season approaches once again, Rory revealed that he, his wife Rebecca, and their daughter Indiana are already counting down the days until they return to Oregon for the annual gathering. What began as a weekend trip has become a cherished family tradition they eagerly anticipate every year.
Surrounded by beautiful gardens, live music, local farmers, handcrafted goods, and people who share a passion for simple living, the Feek family finds something increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced world—a sense of community, gratitude, and genuine connection.
Rory has often said that each visit leaves them with far more than wonderful memories. They return home inspired with new ideas for their homestead, strengthened by new friendships, and reminded that a meaningful life isn’t measured by how much we own, but by the moments we share with those we love.
For Indiana, the festival is a place to explore, learn, and grow while surrounded by nature. For Rebecca, it’s an opportunity to reconnect with friends who embrace the same values. And for Rory, it’s a powerful reminder that life’s greatest riches are often found in its simplest moments.
Perhaps that’s why, when harvest season arrives, the Feek family can’t wait to make the journey once again—not simply to attend a festival, but to return to a place that truly feels like home.
