Femivore is a term coined by journalist Peggy Orenstein, who noticed an abundance of stay-at-home moms also raising chickens and canning their own foods. Models of self-sufficiency and autonomy they have wrested control back from suspicious commercial forces by knitting their own clothes, feeding their families organic produce, reducing their carbon footprint, and eschewing rampant consumption.
are a version of femivores, although not necessarily female. They are high-intensity crafters and DIYers who brew their own beer while wearing trendy fedoras and tattoo their favorite backyard chicken on their bicep. They are also highly community centered and attend food swaps to barter their extra jars of homemade jam for a stranger鈥檚 jalapeno relish.
