Helen Knothe Nearing (February 23, 1904 – September 17, 1995) was an American author and advocate of simple living. Helen Knothe was the daughter of Frank Knothe, who had a clothing business in New Jersey.[1] She grew up in an economically comfortable family of Theosophists.[2] As a young woman, she had a romantic relationship with Jiddu Krishnamurti.[2] She and Scott Nearing started a relationship in 1928 and married nearly 20 years later, on December 12, 1947 when she was 43 and he was 64.[3] The couple lived in rural Vermont where they grew much of their food and erected nine stone buildings over the course of two decades. They lived an ascetic and self-reliant life, earning money by producing maple syrup and sugar from the trees on their land and from Scott Nearing's occasional paid lectures.[4] In 1952, Helen and Scott Nearing moved to a homestead in Brooksville, Maine, on Cape Rosier, where they continued growing much of their own food.[5] They cultivated blueberries as a cash crop.[6] Helen Nearing died in 1995 as the result of a single-car accident in Harborside, Maine.[7][8] Published works
