Angela Ferraro-Fanning

Angela Ferraro-Fanning is a self-taught homesteader living on a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. After 10 years of owning and operating her own graphic design business, she sought a lifestyle more in tune with the seasons and Mother Nature.

Angela started growing and preserving as much of her own homegrown produce as possible. This quickly grew from a home garden to a permaculture farm bustling with Clydesdales, geese and ducks for eggs, an apiary with ten beehives, sheep and a small orchard.

She shares her passion for self-sufficient, eco-friendly living on her Instagram, YouTube and Substack accounts.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Thích Nhất Hạnh was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist who then lived in southwest France where he was in exile for many years. Born Nguyễn Xuân Bảo, Thích Nhất Hạnh joined a Zen (Vietnamese: Thiền) monastery at the age of 16, and studied Buddhism as a novitiate. Upon his ordination as a monk in 1949, he assumed the Dharma name Thích Nhất Hạnh. Thích is an honorary family name used by all Vietnamese monks and nuns, meaning that they are part of the Shakya (Shakyamuni Buddha) clan. He was often considered the most influential living figure in the lineage of Lâm Tế (Vietnamese Rinzai) Thiền, and perhaps also in Zen Buddhism as a whole.
