The Urban Homestead Tour aims to inform, educate and inspire the community by featuring a variety of traditional and innovative efforts in the urban homesteading movement.

Local homesteaders throughout the Denver metro area will open their homes to provide guests with an opportunity to see urban homesteading in action. Come prepared to be surprised. "Urban homesteading is not only growing vegetables in your yard and raising chickens," says Sundari Kraft, author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Urban Homesteading” and founder of EatWhereULive, one of the community supporters of the tour. "It also includes activities like canning, making soap and using alternative energy sources in your home."

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Urban homesteaders who want to participate as a tour stop, share their efforts, their joys and their experiences with the public can find information and application here.

The tour, which includes the support of community partners like Anisa Schell, author of the blog LazyHomesteader, and Lisa Rogers, founder and director of Feed Denver, is completely self-guided. Participants are encouraged to drop-by whichever locations they'd like from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Tour map sales will begin August 22 and tour participants will receive them starting September 19.
