Book Pa Mac For Your Event

 I really do talk…and to prove it, I can do it at your next festival, conference, meeting, or banquet.

It’s always a privilege to talk to and with like-minded farm and homestead folks about a number of topics—especially inspiring a spark in the younger generations for individual liberty and enjoying the work of their hands. Depending on distances to events, I can also demonstrate old-fashioned farming or woodworking skills for the small farm or homestead.

I’m available to speak or demonstrate at a limited number of homesteading conferences, scout meetings, FFA or 4-H events, homeschool conventions, graduation ceremonies, father-son retreats, church conferences, banquets, or other similar events each year.

The following are possible speaking topics or demonstrations (however, with advance notice, I can prepare a topic at your request):

      • Practical Reasons for the Small Farm (or Homestead) Life
      • Getting Started Homesteading
      • Self-sufficiency on the Small Farm (or Homestead)
      • Lessons Learned From the Southern Traditional Farm
      • A Recipe for Successful Farming (or Homesteading)
      • The Farm Family—Past and Future
      • The Great American Farmer/Patriots
      • Reasons for Living a Self-sufficient Life
      • Character Building on the Farm
      • The Farmer—A Student of Nature
      • Farming (or Homesteading) for Your Health
      • Making Homemade Lumber with a Chainsaw
      • Outbuildings for the Homestead
      • Southern Traditional Farming (Speech or Demonstration)
      • 19th Century Woodworking on a Southern Traditional Farm (Demonstration)
      • 12 Things I Wish Somebody Would Have Said at My High School Graduation (for homeschool, private, or public graduation ceremonies)
