The Homesteading Heritage Center offers single-day and multiday classes in homesteading. The center is part of a Christian ministry program, but they do not insist on a shared belief by everyone. However, you will be working on a model area of the center's working farm. Courses are on topics such as owning a family cow, beekeeping, gardening, fencing, water supply and other animal care. Courses range from $75-$250 as of February 2011, depending on how long it lasts and what the course entails.
