"This was such a well put together summit. What a wide range of topics. I watched ALL of the speakers and then went back to rewatch the ones that applied to me. What an encouragement to a person who just has containers and two 10’ long planter boxes. Audrey is well aware that some of us have a small area to plant but she made it clear that no matter what size our yard or patio is, we can all become proficient GARDENERS!"

Meet Your Host!
Hi, I'm Audrey Crawford, host of the Little Farm Summit, the Spring Gardening Summit, and creator of Audrey's Little Farm Academy. Gardening has always been more than a hobby for me. It’s a family legacy and a lifelong passion shaped by four generations of growers.
Over the years, that love of growing food has naturally led me into other parts of little farm living too, from cooking with what we grow and raising chickens to making simpler, more natural choices at home.
But I also know how easy it is to feel overwhelmed when it seems like everyone else is doing everything at once.
Through years of trial and error, I’ve learned that creating a meaningful little farm life isn’t about doing more, having more land, or trying to master every skill at once. It’s about choosing what matters most in your current season and building practical habits that fit your life.
That’s why I created Audrey’s Little Farm and the Little Farm Summit.
My goal is to help everyday people grow food, cook more from scratch, create a healthier home, and build useful homesteading skills without the pressure to do it all.
Over the past decade, I’ve helped thousands of gardeners move from overwhelm to clarity with simple, practical guidance they can actually use.
Now, I’m excited to bring together experienced gardeners, cooks, herbalists, chicken keepers, and natural-living educators for four days of learning, encouragement, and inspiration.
I’d be honored to have you join us for the Little Farm Summit and discover new ways to create a little farm life that fits the life you’re actually living.
Your Little Farm Life Can Start With One Simple Step
Join us for four days of practical learning and discover realistic ways to grow food, cook from scratch, create a healthier home, and build useful skills that fit your life.
