Book coming in 2026!

What if the way we eat could help heal our bodies—and the planet?

For decades, author, educator, health coach, and farmer Ronni Arno Blaisdell has explored the power of food to transform health, build community, and protect the environment. What began as a personal quest to lower her cholesterol and avoid her family's history of heart disease grew into a lifelong journey rooted in plants, purpose, and place—especially her home state of Maine.

In Sustainable Food & Me, Ronni invites readers into the growing movement toward plant-based eating with a uniquely Maine focus. From vibrant seasonal recipes to profiles of farmers, foodmakers, and herbalists across the state, this book celebrates local innovation while digging deep into the science, ethics, and environmental impact of our food choices.

Whether you’re plant-curious, flexitarian, or fully vegan, this book offers inspiration and practical tools for eating more sustainably—without sacrificing flavor, culture, or connection. With guidance on building a local pantry, navigating family meals, and making change one bite at a time, Sustainable Food & Me is both a personal story and a hopeful roadmap for anyone who wants to nourish themselves and their community while treading more lightly on the Earth.
