Michelle Bruhn

Michelle Bruhn relishes being a suburban homesteader born and raised in Minnesota. She’s a local food advocate, regenerative gardener, freelance writer, educator and farmers market manager. As the founder of Forks in the Dirt, an information hub for garden and farm-to-table living, she helps people grow their own, know their farmer and cook real food year-round. Her passion is helping folks Dig Their Food.

Michelle is involved in her local food, farming and garden community as a way to share her love of growing food with others. She volunteers as a Ramsey County Master Gardener, and with her local public schools and senior center starting and maintaining edible gardens wherever she can. Her biggest accomplishment is getting her kids to love real food, insects and the perfect green bean as much as she does. She lives with her boys, "handy hubby" and pets just north of St. Paul, MN.

When not in the garden, Michelle enjoys spending time with her boys, backyard flock, family and friends while immersing herself in nature, usually with a foraging basket in tow. She believes Nature and plants make the best teachers!
