GROWING & EATING SEASONAL FOODS, CELEBRATING COMMUNITY
Helping you get your hands in the soil and have fun in the kitchen.
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, and certified Permaculture Designer. She's currently a PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley, in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, with a designated emphasis in Folklore.
She's developed and taught gardening and seed saving curriculum to youth and adults, and has been working in the food system since 2013. Her experience includes time at a gourmet food retail shop, a brief restaurant stint and some intermittent catering gigs, working on a small teaching non-profit market farm and a weekly harvest market, producing and editing podcasts about food, and planning and managing a community garden space. She began studying food systems in 2019 through community-based, participatory research focused on regional economic development, and has been consulting on food systems development since 2021.
Her work interrogates questions of capital, access, regenerative farming practices, multispecies justice, culinary identity, and botanical heritage in food systems on land and at sea.
Cate is an herbalist and forager. 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.
