From Farm to Fork: A conversation with Beth Dooley

Noted food author Beth Dooley will be on hand to discuss the local food scene on Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. at Drury Lane Books.

Drury Lane Books and Cook County Whole Foods Co-op present “From Farm to Fork: A Conversation with Beth Dooley” at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7. The event will be held at Drury Lane Books, 12 E. Wisconsin Street in Grand Marais.

Join author, journalist, and local food expert Beth Dooley for a conversation about your local food scene.

Beth has been involved with the local food movement for over 20 years. She is also the author of numerous award-winning cookbooks about Heartland food traditions. Her food memoir, In Winter’s Kitchen: Growing Roots and Breaking Bread in the Northern Heartland, was published in 2015 by Milkweed and was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award.

In Winter’s Kitchen “personalizes the path from farm to fork with heart and skill” (Wall Street Journal), demonstrating that even in a place with a short growing season, food grown locally and organically can be healthy, community-based, environmentally conscious, and— most of all—delicious.

This event will provide the audience an opportunity to hear about Beth’s experiences with Minnesota food movements and to share their own stories of food developments, concerns, and histories unique to the region.

This event is supported by the voters of Minnesota and a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.
