How do we relate to the people around us? What is our relationship to nature? How do our choices (food and otherwise) affect the ecosystem we live in and the world, as a whole? Jessica Prentice, one of the founders of Three Stone Hearth in California, tackles all of the above in today’s conversation. Jessica has a brilliant mind and passion to match it. She established Three Stone Hearth with a view to providing healing, nourishing foods to those unable to make it for themselves.
Her heart is for cultivating community and consciousness, as well. Her mission is to wake us up to the reality that good health is made up of much more than just a particular diet or “clean eating.” Jessica discusses our role in revitalizing the earth and the soil, the joys of communal work and meals, and the ins and outs of her unconventional Three Stone Hearth business model. She is an innovator–the woman who coined the term “locavore.” Her candor and insights challenge all of us to live differently…and healthier.
