BEHIND THE SCENES

ROOTED is brought to you by Mairi and Cate, two sisters who grew up gardening, foraging, and preserving a variety of wild foods. We're lifelong bakers, and our early years were spent experimenting in our kitchen at home. Later on, we began working in food service and gourmet kitchens. All opinions are our own.

Mairi is a storyteller, seed keeper, food systems researcher, and certified Permaculture Designer.

She's spent over a decade working throughout the food system, including designing and managing a community garden space; working on a small market farm and in restaurants, catering, & food retail; and teaching gardening and seed saving to individuals of all ages. Mairi has researched food systems in partnership with communities and mission driven organizations since 2019, and has consulted in support of food and agriculture focused economic development since 2021. She's currently a PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley where she studies environmental and cultural change through food. Her dissertation project focuses on American estuaries.

Cate is an herbalist, forager, plant-based recipe developer, and lifelong gardener.

She is the founder of Blueberry Road Botanicals, a science-based herbal skincare line, and is studying to become a clinical herbalist. She works in non-profit development.
