One of the core philosophies is the sharing of knowledge. In 2018, we formed the Homesteaders & Preppers Guild as a means of creating a community of people looking to increase their knowledge in skills that are needed by Homesteaders and sought after by Preppers. We started out with a Facebook Group that is now called Requiem's Home, Hearth, and Heart. Fall 2018 we had our first event that focused on these topics and held a Fall Homesteaders and Preppers Bazaar where attendees were privy to a chicken necropsy and anatomy lesson along with humane way to dispatch chickens and cooking them over a campfire. Spring 2019 Bazaar had discussions on methods for growing your own food and how to create your own seed bank.
​
As we have this event twice a year, we are always on the lookout for target market vendors, demonstrators, and activities. If you would like to vend at this event, follow this link to our google application. If you would like to be a skill demonstrator or provide other related activities, please email RequiemsEventsofTexas@GuildsofRequiem.com
Vendors Applications are OPEN for the 2025 season!
​
Vending starts at $50 for a 12' x 12' space (no electricity)
​
Vendors need to bring their own:
-
Canopy/Tent with weights! Our breezes off the highway are frequently very gusty where staking down your canopy is not enough. After a recent experience of flying canopies and an injury, we highly recommend concrete blocks.
-
Tables
-
Chairs
Be sure you have enough small bills in your till as we do not have the ability to "make change".
PRESENTERS
​
We are always in need of those presenting information that is relevant to the homesteading and preppers community with a variety of proficiency levels in both topics. Topics we have had in the past: brushcraft skills, create a medic kit, wound identification, medicinal foraging, basics of gardening, and the ever popular chicken care and processing.
VOLUNTEERS
​
Volunteers are needed during all phases an event. From promoting the event, assist with coordinating specific specialty areas, runners at events, and event venue clean-up afterwards. We do take care of our volunteers are well feed, whether it is cold cut sandwiches to $20 voucher redeemable at participating food vendors. Volunteers can also barter their way to a free 12' x 12' vending space!
Returning to our spring event is the seed swap!
The premise is simple:
* Have Seeds?
* Bring Seeds!
* Need Seeds?
* Take Seeds! (remember to send us photos of your garden!
​
Seed donations are always welcome addition! Any left-over seeds are donated to local Community Shared Agricultural Organizations.
