About: Lisa Rose is an herbalist, forager, urban farmer and published author. Rose’s professional career has included food work in the Napa Valley, Leelanau County, and Grand Rapids. She has been part of growing the local food movement in West Michigan from the ground up since 2001. When she is not in her own gardens or kitchen, Rose can be found in the fields and forests, leading foraging plant walks and teaching classes on edible and medicinal wild plants. Beyond the Great Lakes, Rose’s interest in ethnobotany and herbal medicine have taken her across the United States and into the Yucatan, mainland Mexico, Nicaragua, and Brazil to study plants, people, health, and their connection to place. Rose’s first book, “Grand Rapids Food: A Culinary Revolution,” (History Press, 2013) masterfully details the seeds and growth of the players that helped the local food movement take root. For more on these and other wild edibles that can be found throughout the Midwest, check out her newest book, Midwest Foraging (Timber Press 2015). To follow her wild journeys, join her on twitter, @lisaroseGR, or her blog www.burdockandrose.com.
