The Homemaker Conference 2026

It was held at Hardison Mill Farm, 4544 Highway 431, Columbia, Tennessee.

The stated audience is women homemakers seeking practical and faith-centered learning and community.

It is most useful for women homemakers, especially homeschooling mothers, who want faith-centered, practical teaching and community, since the topics included homeschooling, nutrition, raising teenagers and hospitality and the speakers included farm and homestead founders such as Beth Dougherty of One Cow Revolution. The two days on a working historic farm in Columbia, Tennessee, favored a small, personal gathering, so professionals wanting career networking, or those outside the homemaking and faith-oriented audience, would get little from it.

Attendees at homestead and farm gatherings usually wear modest, casual clothing such as long skirts or dresses, or jeans with a simple top. Sturdy, comfortable shoes suit a farm setting, and October in Tennessee is mild, so a light layer is enough.
