After moving to Pulaski, Tennessee Tanda discovered her true passion is connecting people to the earth, food, and their purpose through farming, sustainable agriculture, and natural medicine

Her co-authored cookbook, Food That Grows, explores the importance of eating whole foods, the current issues with how Westerners eat, and the stories and celebrations around the very thing that keeps us alive…food.

Practicing what she preaches, Tanda owns and runs Maple and Sage farm where she raises both plants and animals, practices regenerative farming and lives by the earth.
