Author, podcaster, and food advocate visits Wangaratta Library

Booktique, in partnership with Wangaratta Library, is thrilled to welcome local food advocate, educator, podcaster, and author Jade Miles for a special event to celebrate the release of her new book, Huddle.

A dynamic and passionate voice for regenerative living, Jade Miles brings together decades of experience in food systems, education, storytelling, and community-building. Her first book and accompanying podcast Futuresteading became a movement, reaching audiences across Australia and the USA with its message of reconnecting with nature, slowing down, and building resilient local communities.

Huddle continues this journey, exploring the power of collective action and shared responsibility in building a better future. Through storytelling and lived experience, Jade asks us to step out of our comfort zones, question modern definitions of success, and celebrate the simple, the seasonal, and the sustainable.

Alongside her writing and podcasting, Jade is co-founder of the Beechworth Food Co-op and CEO of Sustainable Table—a national organisation championing regenerative farming, food, and fibre systems. She and her family also run Black Barn Farm, a biodiverse, u-pick orchard and learning space in Northeast Victoria that welcomes school groups, families, and anyone keen to get their hands in the soil.

From barefoot farming to boardroom leadership, Jade Miles is a truly grounded changemaker. This is a unique opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s most passionate voices for environmental stewardship and community resilience.

When: Thursday 5 June at 6.00pm

Where: Wangaratta Library, 21 Docker St
