Generosity makes us happiest. We'll be happier people when we share, not when we impose, but when we learn from one another. Because when I'm connected to everyone I disappear... in being excellent you lose yourself. And when you're connected to everyone, that's the best thing that can happen. — Raj Patel

We have an unprecedentedly large urban population that has no land to grow food on, no knowledge of how to grow it, and less and less knowledge of what to do with it after it is grown. That this population can continue to eat through shortage, strike, embargo, riot, depression, war—or any of the other large-scale afflictions that societies have always been heir to and that industrial societies are uniquely vulnerable to—is not a certainty or even a faith; it is a superstition. — Wendell Berry

Being Slow means that you control the rhythms of your own life. You decide how fast you have to go in any context. If today I want to go fast, I go fast. If tomorrow I want to go slow, I go slow. What we are fighting for is the right to determine our own tempos. — Carlo Petrini (1949-2026)

Mushrooms will always be a miracle for me, because they appear outside of my schedule, without my cultivation, outside of my control.

While we still go foraging, usually at the wrong time, it's mainly to observe and enjoy the forest rather than acquire a meal. At home, I spread Agaricus subrufescens over all our veggie beds, and they are our mainstay mushroom. While we cannot predict exactly when they'll fruit, we get many many meals, throughout much of the year.

The first thing we did when we got home from seeing Eugene's Mom and brother was make the first batch of 2026 kimchi, and make okonomiyaki (Japanese cabbage pancakes) because Napa Cabbage season is ON. Best vegetable of early winter...

(Kimchi making workshop next Sat if you're keen to learn how to make vegan kimchi.- you can reserve a spot via our shop website)

I'm so excited to be sharing an update from Kelly and Bruce in our newsletter tomorrow! I asked them to share more about the process of moving and farming without owning land, and I'm so inspired by their persistence, humility, and clarity. Here's a sneak peek:

"We have grown food and worked in places that grow food in 4 different provinces and a multitude of microclimates - I feel like that has really given us broad knowledge for the work we do, both farming for ourselves and consulting for others that wish to start growing food. We've also formed great connections across most of South Africa and it is really wonderful to know that there are so many people with hands in the soil all across the country. We have learnt to become both adaptable and resilient as we've left behind harvests, seeds, compost and hard work on multiple occasions. Each new place presents a unique set of strengths and we've learnt that it is best to work with what the land is saying - with the exception of tomatoes, which we have grown in almost every space we've been in (especially spaces where tomatoes "can't be grown.")"

You can read their story by signing up to our newsletter (9am tomorrow!) or by checking out our newsletter archives.

And if you'd like to share your growing wisdom, or an update on your story, please let me know.
