Mid-MO Homestead Expo

Alright

Vendors — 2026 interest list now; applications open Oct 1

If the form gives you grief on the photo step, just type “will email photos” and hit submit. No need to wrestle with it.

We’re asking everyone who’s interested to fill out this interest form.
Why? It keeps us from chasing messages across five apps and three coffee shops 😉.

Timeline & how selection works

Applications go live Oct 1. Folks on the email list (from this form) will see them first.

Not first-come, first-served. We’re curating for the best mix and quality, so take your time and show us your best. We limit our like vendors to two per type unless there's a very definite difference in what you offer compared to similar vendors in order to give our guests the best shopping experience and our vendors the best selling experience.

Where to contact us (choose one)

page Messenger (this page), or

Email: [email protected],

Personal DMs, emails, and comment threads won’t be tracked for vendor business- helps us keep our boots under us.

Apply to the interest list here: https://forms.gle/QhiD1vFommg2R6ny7 Thanks for helping us keep it tidy.

Every season teaches something. What’s flopping in your garden or homestead right now? (This is a safe space. No judgment. We’ve all had mystery plant deaths and broken brooder lids.)

Is anyone else letting a few things bolt for seed saving this year? We’re already thinking about 2026 gardens. If you’ve never saved seeds before but want to, say the word—we’ll walk you through it.

Our animals are either napping in the shade or plotting their next escape. Which one describes yours best? Bonus points if you’ve got a photo of a farm animal giving you side-eye.
