Looking at their website and wanting to visit this community very soon. I would go and benefit from their knowledge of being self sufficient in use of the land that God has made for our benefit.

And I always encourage such visits!
Even consider them myself (I had a detox "cold" this year, so it was not a consideration, I try to keep a refundable Southwest points ticket, picked up way in advance, handy.)
They are definitely in the spearhead of the homesteading and crafts movements, and even with their problems they show that "Christian" community is possible.
And they will hide most of the yahweh-devil stuff. Although be careful in the music worship. I had to RUN the AISLES OUT in 2009, when Days of Elijah was mangled.
Beyond that the food at the Fair is ok (good, not great), the fresh air and walking is wonderful, you can make good nationwide and worldwide contacts and your
prepper edge can improve. And I hung out the last two Fair visits with a Baptist KJB friend who has a book named
The Word: God Will Keep It! The 400 Year History of the King James Bible Only Movement. And have some friends in the area. You can also try to have time with the ministry after the Fair, as I had done a couple of times, before they shrank back. If you read and study and pray in the name of Jesus you can be well prepared!
