New York, NY 10036Join Just Food and the Weston A. Price Foundation NYC for a special presentation and book signing to celebrate the release of Radical Homemakers: Reclaiming Domesticity from a Consumer Culture, by Shannon Hayes, upstate farmer, author and radical homemaker. Shannon will tell the story of pioneering men and women who are redefining feminism and the good life by reclaiming control of home and hearth. Guided by simple principles of ecological sustainability, social justice, community engagement and family well-being these radical homemakers are questioning the corporate control of the home from the
breadbox to the closet. Her presentation will explore experiences endeavoring to change the world by reclaiming their domestic skills -- whether it be planting a garden, growing tomatoes on an apartment balcony, mending a shirt, repairing an appliance, providing one’s own entertainment, or cooking and preserving the local harvest.
Shannon's presentation will include a moderated panel discussion with
Phillip Botwinick, Dina Falconi, Lis Thomas, and Declan Walsh, New
Yorkers who are seeking to live more sustainably through homesteading
activities.
