GROUNDED Live
GROUNDED Festival is a cross between a farming conference and a food festival, held in a different farm location every year, so each festival is a unique, unmissable event celebrating local expertise and culture with an inspiring line up of speakers.
With multiple stages running concurrently, it combines science and technology with ancient wisdom, provides a respectful place for lively discussion, an audience as interesting as the speakers and an excellent menu of local food, drinks and music, all on a beautiful, regeneratively-managed farm.
Each year we record presentations and make them available, free for all, as a podcast called GROUNDED Live. We hope you enjoy the conversations.

GROUNDED Live - 2025: Jade Miles - Huddle Book Launch

One of the things we love at GROUNDED is shining a light on the writers, thinkers and storytellers who help shape the way we understand farming, food and community. Today’s presentation features Jade Miles — a barefooted force of nature and one of Australia’s most vital voices in the food movement.
Jade is a food advocate, educator, podcaster, author and CEO of Sustainable Table, based at Blackburn Farm: a biodiverse orchard and nursery in north-east Victoria. She founded the Beechworth Food Co-op and the North East Local Food Strategy, and her Futuresteading podcast spans 140 episodes across seven seasons, alongside her beloved book of the same name.
From grassroots organising to values-led strategic leadership, Jade’s work bridges communities, regions and generations. In this session, Jade launches her newest book, Huddle — sharing stories, ideas and practical wisdom about living, farming and organising for a better future.
It’s warm, heartfelt, grounded and inspiring — a beautiful contribution from someone who works every day to build stronger food systems and more connected communities.
Settle in and enjoy Jade Miles on GROUNDED Live.
