Off the Beaten Path · The mission
Three of us, two vans, one year on America's farms.
Real food is medicine. We're raising the money to hit the road and tell the stories of America's small farmers and the chefs who cook their food. Every watch, read and share gets us closer.

New novel
The Good Girl, the Detective & the Femme Fatale
A darkly funny, twist-filled noir told by three narrators, each with their own version of the truth.
We're a team.
