Listen to Jessica now

Jessica Prentice

Jessica Prentice is the highlighted guest this week and she brings her story of co-founding a worker-owned community kitchen in Berkeley, California. She presents a compelling case for why we need to change our growing, buying and eating habits. She and her partners have created a program that creates healthy food and healthy connecting and contributes to a healthy planet.

Visit her website at ThreeStoneHearth.com.

The WOA Baby this week supports the need to redesign the way we relate to food and suggests that we are looking in the wrong places to solve our economic crisis.

Enjoy it…and let us know what you think.
