Women in Ag Conference 2025

Find Freedom in the Basics with Katherine Umbarger
A homesteader living in Kansas. Mom of six. Cookbook author. Kitchen teacher. Katherine is on a mission to help families embrace simple, time-honored traditions—one jar, one loaf, one meal at a time. She has published a cookbook and is passionate about teaching old-fashioned kitchen wisdom in the modern world. She helps others take simple steps toward self-sufficiency, one homemade mix and garden harvest at a time.

She will be the key speaker at the annual Women in Ag Conference in Madison, KS on July 16, 2025!
