Love this post, Meg. Such a welcome change from the impossibly high standards of the white-dress-wearing mothers on social media. I love the chicken-raising, produce-harvesting life, but there is something a bit hollow about claiming to be a homesteader while shopping at Target and Amazon at will. Thank you for this perspective.
I really enjoyed reading this, particularly as a permaculturist who has chosen to stay in the suburbs because of a passionate belief in building community resilience. And I’ll be at Chelsea too - I’m lucky to live near RHS Bridgewater, and picking my way round the walled garden!
