Ann M. Evans is one of the founding members of the Davis Food Co-op, which grew out of an informal buying club initially established by the residents of the on campus co-ops in spring 1972, and she also co-founded the Davis Farmers Market in 1975.
Formerly a nutrition education consultant with the California Department of Education, Evans assisted school districts in developing a hands-on, "full-circle" environmental learning experience for children from the garden-to-cafeteria and back. A food writer as well, Evans has written a biweekly column on food and agriculture titled "Fork in the Road" for The Davis Enterprise.
Evans worked with the partnership, Evans & Brennan, for 10 years, which worked for local government to define place through marketing of food, wine and agriculture in the region, and with school districts to increase farm fresh food on the school lunch plate in five flavor profiles representative of the heritage of the people of California. She now has a publishing imprint, Elderflower Press, and is the author of the national award-winning Davis Farmers Market Cookbook.
