Jade Miles – författare

A practical, inspirational and evocative guide to the art of creating and fostering community ties, Huddle shows us how the principles of connection are universal. Written by Jade Miles of permaculture pioneering Black Barn Farm, it examines how we begin the process of building our communities to create a sense of place, nurture relationships and embrace our humanity as we learn to connect and create our own 'huddles'.Split into eight chapters focusing on different aspects of community, each is supported with anecdotal stories from Jade's own lived experience of a futuresteading life at Black Barn Farm together with tight 'HUDDLE HOW?' summaries and 'HUDDLE ACTIVITIES' to propel you to action. Close to Huddle's core is the food we eat and – most importantly – how we share it. A significant proportion of the book is dedicated to the 'NOURISHMENT' chapter, featuring over 50 recipes from Black Barn Farm and Jade's own huddle of humans from across the globe. The recipes are easy to cook and for many mouths, including potluck dinners, meals for gifting, simple seasonal food, and dishes made with little time and little budget. Whether you live in a city apartment, in the suburbs or on twenty acres, the principles of huddling are the same, and Huddle will provide you with all the easy-to-digest information, hands-on techniques and inspiration necessary for fostering your own community and re-learning a connected way of being and belonging.
