This Book Is a Gift

For the past eight years, Adam Wilson has worked alongside his neighbors, human and otherwise, to grow, harvest, preserve, cook and share food as a gift with anyone who is hungry for any reason.  He has asked to be sustained rather than paid. 

The book that has grown from Adam’s culture-shifting work, This Food is a Gift: Practical Experiments in Neighborly, Non-Market Farming and Feeding, opens a door to the emergent field of gift economics by offering a loving corrective to a world wherein every plate of food and plot of land—every winter jacket and warm bed—lies behind a locked door to which money is the only acceptable key.  Get ready to step through the back of the wardrobe and plant your feet upon an Earth who never agreed to be put up for sale.  She has been waiting, patiently, to welcome you back home.

This website will act as a platform for people to receive This Food Is a Gift—slated for publication in early 2027 by Hancock House Publishing and As Is Press—and participate in a financial conversation to enable others to receive the gift as well.
