Oooh! Fresh-Baked Bread! And What the Hay?

Cher Lectours! (Dear Readers!) Happy May!

All my gratitude for walking along the path of this adventure.

My soon to be released cookbook, The Bread of Dreams, and the Mistresses of Psomi, are so pleased to meet you!

Here’s a link so you can pre-order The Bread of Dreams.

My stories tend to fall into the somewhat new, somewhat old, genre of Agrarian Folklore. But, what the hay does it mean to be an agrarian?

Recently I volunteered for the Carolina Farm Tour through the CFSA. And became aware of Common Ground, an Eco Village in Mebane NC and agrarianisms.

“Dictionaries tell us that agrarian means ‘relating to cultivated land or the cultivation of land’ and ‘of, relating to, or characteristic of farmers or their way of life.’ So what is a farmer’s way of life? Producing food, of course, but so much more.

Borrowing a quote from Bill Plotkin about how to love the world, agrarianism ‘…means to intimately know, deeply care about, and actively care for a particular place on Earth — its creatures (including its humans of all races, ages, classes, creeds, and genders), landforms, waters, soils, and air; its health, integrity, and stories….[in doing so, we make] our greatest contribution to ecological vitality and cultural evolution — and, in a time of societal collapse, to cultural revolution and renaissance as well.”

Eco Villages around the world.
