Welcome to your local food info source!
At Forks in the Dirt you’ll learn how to
1- Grow Your Own
2- Know Your Farmer
3- Cook + Preserve Real Food
There is so much life in the local food I’ve grown, foraged, found at farmers markets, cooked and eaten!
It starts with one farmer, one crop, one recipe at a time.
I started my garden to table journey years ago, picking up a little here and there (including when I lived in Sweden) and have taken these years of learning and poured it into Forks in the Dirt- and a book I recently coauthored, Small-Scale Homesteading.
I’m a Ramsey County Master Gardener and volunteer with local community gardens, teach classes on gardening and write for other publications like the ones listed here.

Here’s a listing of my online articles as well.
Let’s start digging in!
It doesn’t matter if you grow your own, buy from your local farmer, or donate money or produce to a food shelf. If we all do a little something together we will accomplish something big.
Let’s make this journey more fun by traveling together. Go ahead, jump on my hay-wagon and come along for the ride!
Forks in the Dirt is a place where the best in-season information has been gathered to make eating real, local, healthy food fun and attainable. From CSAs to Backyard Chickens, Gardening How To, Farmers Markets to Composting -we cover a little ground on the many paths to helping you dig your food.
I feel truly blessed to have the choice to grow my own food. I have the space and have gathered the knowledge over the years. Sharing my love of real food with you is a joy. I’ve compiled many articles on specific veggies, like Cucumbers and Kale, and general Season Extension and succession planting articles as well.
I promise lots of flavor, dirt under your fingernails and an open mind!
