In today’s episode of The Sovereign Kitchen Society, I sit down with Adam Wilson, the steward of Sand River Community Farm and the writer behind Peasantry School, a Substack that feels like a beacon in the night.
Adam’s work is hard to describe in a single sentence. It can be described as deep philosophical work, expressed through farming and feeding others. It’s a lived experiment in rebuilding the human commons (food, land, labor, and care) without the weight of transactional systems.
At Sand River Community Farm, nothing is ever sold.
No CSA shares. No produce stand. No price list taped to a barn door.
Everything grown on that land is given as a gift and an extension of relationship with others, with the land and with nature.
This conversation moves through big terrain:
• What happens when a farmer finally says how he really feels?
• How does a community farm survive when nothing is monetized?
• What does “radical neighboring” look like in modern life?
• How do we unlearn scarcity and rebuild trust?
• And how can all of this shape our home economies, our businesses, and the sovereign kitchens we’re trying to grow?
If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the grind, overwhelmed by the cost of food, or disconnected from the people who feed us, this episode will ground you.
This is a conversation about land, belonging, and the courage to live differently.
A conversation about remembering who we are to each other.
