About Anna

I am a very proud mother of three who bootstrapped my business while bartending, brewing and slanging beer. I knew I wanted something more for myself after being in the restaurant industry most of my life. And although I loved my time in it, I needed a change and wanted to help myself, my family and community. There have been several creations since the beginning of my business, including my café that I have closed since the pandemic. I guess you can never really take the girl out of the restaurant! Being able to see the community come together daily around great food and healthy drinks was one of my all time favorites.

Region Roots is a mission-driven, non-profit local food hub operated by the NWI Food Council since 2021. We serve to connect small scale and underserved farmers with wholesale market opportunities and resources.

TELL US ABOUT REGION ROOTS

I love being in nature and making my boys come with me usually against their teenage will, laughing with my daughter who strangely enough is now an adult with similar humor and interests. Traveling to new found gems.

If I had life my way, it would be mostly made up of roaming through unknown lands, looking at beautiful things, dining on delicious creations and having my family around me forever.

I can tune anything out of my hearing no matter how loud it may really be.
