Magrieta Willemse

Magrieta writes about seasonal living and the food garden, reading the year the way someone raised on a farm does. She asks first what season it is and what the soil and the wind will allow, and she plans in summer for the lean months coming. Her pieces are steady and grounded, patient as something waiting to grow. The land does not lie, she says, and food you grow and preserve yourself is the truest saving there is.
