South African Sensibility: Abigail Fehrsen, Liesl Stewart, and the Food Club Movement | Ep. 57

In this episode we talk with Abigail Fehrsen and Liesl Stewart—two women in South Africa who gathered together a small community of people in order to purchase food in bulk, directly from local farmers. From that initial small, alternative food network, the Food Club movement was born—and now there are many such groups throughout the country—communities of people seeking a more socially just and ecologically connected relationship to their food, to the land, and to the farmers who care for land. While they never set out to create a movement in South Africa, they model the principle that great things can come from simply taking small steps to meet the needs in front of you.
