As the granddaughter of the founder of the organic movement in America, Maria Rodale has had a front row seat to our country’s evolving food culture. The Rodale family championed the importance of organic and real food long before it was popular. For Maria, from-scratch meals, made with real food, are not part of a trend or a movement but are a way of life. Now for the first time, she shares the delicious recipes and remembrances that shaped her life and her food journey—including her farm-to-table roots and her Pennsylvania Dutch heritage.
Maria is the CEO and chairman of Rodale Inc., the world’s largest independent publisher of health, wellness, and environmental content, as well as an avid gardener, home cook, mother of three, and blogger. She is also the author of Maria Rodale’s Organic Gardening: Your Seasonal Companion to Creating a Beautiful and Delicious Organic Garden, and Organic Manifesto: How Organic Food Can Heal Our Planet, Feed the World, and Keep Us Safe. Maria lives in Pennsylvania, where Rodale is headquartered.
