What You Will
Experience
The Exit & Build Land Summit 4 returns LIVE and IN PERSON to the iconic Bastrop Convention Center in Bastrop, Texas on on May 17th-19th
Get ready for 3 days of in-depth presentations and workshops showing you how to live free and prosperously on bountiful land in the country surrounded by freedom-loving friends and family … no matter your age, income, experience, skill, knowledge, or circumstances
You’ll get hard-won, high-level, PROVEN strategies, tools, and resources for living free in the country from a diverse range of speakers
Hear from giants of permaculture, seasoned community creators, veteran homesteaders, renowned survivalists, generational ranchers, and many more freedom-loving experts sharing their best strategies for returning to the land and living free in your own self-sufficient community outside of the control of the technocrats and tyrants locking down major cities and suburbs.
You’ll have the chance to go on off-site Farm Tours tours and training sessions on May 16th & 20th
All Land Summit attendees will have the option of purchasing an affordable bonus ticket to experience one or more Farm Tours the day before and after the Land Summit conference.
You’ll get to visit thriving homesteads, food forests, permaculture sites, communities, and more with guided tours revealing the exact techniques and strategies these property owners use to produce tons of food every year while improving their local communities and expanding their personal freedom and well-being.
You’ll experience exclusive, hands-on workshops from select speakers training you in practical skills you can use immediately after the conference to improve your prosperity
At last year’s Land Summit, we featured workshops covering unique gardening methods, nonviolent communication techniques, tools for finding the perfect homestead property, raising funding for your regenerative community, and a whole lot more.
These workshops are often one of the most valuable parts of the entire Land Summit because they almost instantly upgrade your ability to create more freedom and prosperity. Plus, they cut your trial and error time in half by learning what works from real experts.
You’ll get to shake hands, share drinks, and form powerful relationships with many of the speakers and all of the attendees in between talks and workshops and during nighttime parties
The Land Summit attracts some of the most productive and down-to-Earth “doers” in the worlds of homesteading, truth, and freedom.
Enduring friendships have been made here. Romantic partners have met here. Businesses have been formed here. Communities have found new members. Participants have worked together to create their own communities after the event.
This goes way beyond mere “networking.” Everyone gets a little smarter and a little freer after the extraordinary conversations and connections you’ll have with attendees AND speakers. with the bright minds in attendance.
You’ll participate in the exclusive Intentional Community Matchmaking Session
This has easily become the #1 event EVERYONE looks forward to at the Land Summit.
All attendees break into small groups based on where you want to move (if you’re moving) or where you currently live – i.e. Texas, Tennessee, Mexico – and our small group leaders will facilitate discussions and networking.
The Community Matchmaking Session will:
- Connect those with an intentional community with those who are looking to join an intentional community
- Connect those who want to buy land in a certain area to meet those who also want to buy land in that area
- Connect those living in a certain area (such as Central Texas) with those also living in that area to form new friendships and connections
Rita went from feeling alone to creating a 7-acre homestead and intentional community (while finding several like-minded friends in the process) after the 2021 Land Summit
“We went from not wanting anyone on our property to creating our own little intentional community. We currently have 2 full-time members and have 2 more making plans to arrive soon.
We made friends with other like-minded people, which in these times, is gold. It helped crystalize “who” our people are. Suddenly we went from feeling isolated and overwhelmed on our 7-acre property to having true friends who are willing to help us daily.
Come find your people at the Exit and Build Summit! You don’t have to do it alone. Be open to receiving new ideas on how to make your goals and dreams happen. All these great minds in the same room, magic happens and you will crush all the barriers stopping you right now.”
Food
You’ll get lunch catered every day of the Land Summit conference (May 17th-19th)
We’re bringing in healthy, tasty, farm-to-table and locally catered lunches for all attendees.
We’re making it easy for everyone to eat together regardless of your diet.

Hear their story below:
Choose Your Path
How The Exit and Build Land Summit will help you achieve YOUR ideal version of freedom in the country
Our goal is to help you on your unique journey to achieve maximum freedom, prosperity, connection, and joy through self-sufficient and communal living in the country.
But we’re not all starting in the same place or trying to go to the same destination.
So we’ve created a simple “matrix” below you can use to pinpoint exactly where you are currently and where you want to go.
Simply choose the right point on the matrix below to see how The Exit and Build Land Summit will help you achieve your vision after applying the knowledge, skills, and connections you’ll gain from attending.
IF YOU...
DON'T HAVE LAND
Then You’ll Learn How to
You might live in the city without a patch of land to call your own. Or perhaps you have a little acreage in the suburbs or country but you dream of having a whole lot more.
We’re gonna help you get the land you need to fulfill your dreams and goals.
Virtually every speaker at The Exit and Build Land Summit owns land. At every past event, we’ve had several speakers present on how exactly to locate good land for homesteading and community building, how to buy it, what to know before you buy, and so much more.
You’ll hear from rural real estate veterans, land entrepreneurs, homesteaders, ranchers, and farmers.
You’ll also get to meet scores of other people who also want to buy land. Some of them will even be interested in buying land with you in order to make it more affordable if that’s an option you want to exercise.
Regardless of how much land you want or where you want it, you’ll pick up loads of powerful techniques and strategies to make it happen.
Plus, in the meantime, before you (eventually) get the land you want, you’ll discover how to start homesteading with what you have, even if that means just a few plants in a closet. Because we’re all about taking action NOW even if you don’t have everything you want yet.
You don’t have to own land in order to be a part of a community of freedom-loving friends and family.
There are already HUNDREDS of these communities in existence.
A number of speakers and attendees run these communities and they’re looking for new, cool members like YOU.
You’ll be shown how to find and connect with communities across the United States and other countries that match the values and lifestyle you desire.
Plus, The Exit and Build Land Summit facilitates multiple networking and relationship-building events to match community owners with potential community members like you.
IF YOU...
DO HAVE LAND
Then You’ll Learn How to
The Exit and Build Land Summit is one of the largest gatherings of experienced and professional permaculturists, homesteaders, gardeners, and ranchers.
If you want to turn your property into a food-producing machine that works in alignment with nature and is not only sustainable but regenerative (producing more and higher-quality food over time), then do everything possible to make it to this summit.
Between the speakers, hands-on workshops, and optional farm tours, you’re going to receive over a dozen masterclasses in making your land and animals work for you.
And if you’re the entrepreneurial type, you’ll be shown how many of our presenters have leveraged their land to start food businesses, Bed and Breakfast businesses, event spaces, and more.
Get ready to profit from your land both personally and financially.
John and Rebecca Bush – the founders and hosts of The Exit and Build Land Summit – closed on a 10-acre homestead in 2021 to escape COVID insanity and has since turned it into a thriving homestead and intentional community with multiple members.
This summit was started with the intention of helping as many people as possible do the same. And many people have since the very first summit.
You’ll gain guidance on:
- How to design your land to facilitate community
- The various options for cooperative living (i.e. members living under the same roof or members having their own plot and home, and much more)
- The legal considerations for starting your community without violating any laws
- How to run a community as a leader while empowering other members
- Methods of peaceful communication and negotiation
Plus MUCH more.
Many of us don’t necessarily want to leave our property to live communally or turn our land into a community.
But we would like to connect and develop relationships with fellow freedom-lovers and self-sufficient homesteaders in our area and elsewhere.
The Exit and Build Land Summit facilitates multiple networking and relationship-building events to help you find neighbors in your area and others who share your values.
Plus, you’ll hear how other speakers have created spread out communities by connecting with their existing neighbors and how you can do the same.
If You…
Have Land & Community
Then You’ll Learn How to
Produce more food , become more self-sufficient, and expand your community with more freedom-loving folks
The Exit and Build Land Summit brings together THOUSANDS of people online and in person who are hungry to start or join intentional communities.
Growing your community can be as easy as presenting it at the summit. It’s a virtual guarantee that you’ll receive more than enough applicants interested in joining your community.
One of the key aspects of The Exit and Build Land Summit will be the fan favorite “Community Matching Making” event (which you can read about earlier on this page) where many community owners have found new members.
Plus, you’ll be able to apply everything else you learn at the event to improve your homesteading, permaculture, agriculture, ranching, and any other food production systems you’re running on your land.
The Exit and Build Land Summit 4 goes LIVE on May 17th-19th at the Bastrop Convention Center with workshops, parties, farm to table meals, dozens of speakers, and more!
PLUS, May 16th & 20th are Farm Tour days (optional for Land Summit attendees) – Tour permaculture sites, homesteads, and regenerative agriculture farms around Central Texas
IN PERSON Tickets to the Land Summit 4 are $150 OFF during our Early Bird sale.
Our BEST chance of not only surviving, but THRIVING as free people, is to exit the cities and suburbs and build communities in the country based on sovereignty, liberty, and peace.
This is how we live free NOW.
This is how we show others to live free.
We can’t simply exercise alternatives as lone individuals.
We must come together to create strength in numbers to become a driving force for freedom that can’t be stopped, silenced, or broken up.
The Exit and Build Summit 4 delivers the chance to reconnect to our humanity, to nature, and to our God-given right to sovereignty.
You’re going to learn the most valuable skills for creating real freedom from the land up. You’re going to form real connections with incredible people in real life. And you’re going to leave this event empowered with a plan, skills, knowledge, and people to create the free world you want to live in.
Let’s get land, make communities, and live free now!

TESTIMONIALS
“I listened to a video John Bush did on limiting beliefs … it changed my life. I doubled the income from my business and was able to come here. I always wanted to meet John and Derrick Broze and other people, which seemed out of reach, but I got to meet them and talk to them here.”
“What sets this conference apart from others is that people are intentional – they want to have in-depth conversations about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it … it makes for a phenomenal experience.”
“I’m excited to meet a lot of the people I’ve seen on YouTube and Podcasts over several years and learn from them … it’s been absolutely incredible.”
“It feels great being around these folks … “your people”, your fellow thinkers. I would definitely come again and I recommend other people pull the trigger and do it. It’s been very enlightening and will spark a fire under me after I leave.”
“The people are amazing. We’ve gone to other events from Live Free Academy and they just get better and better. It’s like people are graduating into this new paradigm of living and community. It’s like a family. A lot of excitement. A lot of friendships being made. And you can really feel the love.”
“The whole point of this is for people to see firsthand what are the challenges, what are the benefits, and what do we need to know to return to the land. It’s a precious and priceless opportunity for us to experience that from these homesteaders and farmers themselves. What I love about the farm tours is we’re fast-tracking your learning curve.”
“It’s a gathering of people that want to step away from the old financial system, the old ways of building, the old tech, and all the old systems that tend not to be for our benefit and build new systems – ways to grow their own food, generate their own energy, educate their kids and their community’s kids without outsourcing that to government and corporations.”
“This is an enormous and vibrant community of people. It’s a wonderful example of self-organizing, free market activity. It’s not just about homesteading and growing your own food, that’s a big theme, but there’s all kinds of other information interspersed with that. I’ve made a lot of friends here. The 3 days of presentations and the 2 days of farm tours has been awesome.”
“It’s very refreshing to talk with people and speak your mind without worrying about being judged. I wanted to connect with people who are interested in freedom, who understand the importance of self-reliance. It’s been extremely empowering … a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to do it again next year.”
“I got more out of the first morning session than I expected to get out of the whole weekend.”
“I was pleasantly surprised there were many more people who are fully ready to execute or are already executing. That’s a huge positive that individuals were ready to invite me onto their property or projects. I’m extremely happy I came to build relationships and hear things that I didn’t know before.”
“Although you can sit at home and watch it, when you meet the people in person and get to know the faces and talk to people individually, it brings a more full understanding and satisfaction.”
