Lady of the Woods at Square Lake Film Festival

'Lady of the Woods', is screening at the Square Lake Film and Music Festival on Saturday, August 15th at 6:30pm. There is a great lineup of music and movies all day, so if you are in Minnesota come and check it out!

'Lady of the Woods' is about Alma Christensen, a self-taught botanist and expert on wild edibles. This film explores her coming of age in an Austrian immigrant family homesteading in central Minnesota. Hear about life on the farm, foraging for food, her education, and living and loving during “the hard days” and the war. Alma and I will be available after the screening to answer questions, talk about Alma's cookbook (For Soul and Kitchen), and describe edible plants that grow on the Square Lake Festival grounds. Cookbooks and DVDs will be available for purchase.
