The Coronavirus Pandemic has exposed weaknesses in many of our systems, including our food system. Mari (MARY) Stuart is an Urban Homesteader and writer who believes eating more locally is a better food system model. She is presenting a talk about shifting your food consumption to eat more locally at this year’s Organic Grower School Spring Conference, and she joined us for a preview of that talk earlier this week.

She is a regular contributor to Edible Asheville Magazine and the Mother Earth News blog, and writes about gardening, foraging, and modern homesteading at Make Gather Grow.
