Between Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan lies a region known as Fruit Ridge—a place where the land itself feels alive with memory. Here, orchard rows rise and fall over hills carved out by glaciers, and the air hums with the scent of fresh-pressed cider and ripening fruit. This ridge has long been shaped by the hands and histories of those who farm it, and in this issue, you’ll meet 10 home cooks whose lives are rooted in heritage. Their recipes carry the imprint of those who came before—begun by grandmothers, guided by memory, and brought to life with care and creativity. Whether sparked by childhood moments in the kitchen or a growing passion for cooking, these stories celebrate the joy of gathering, the art of preservation, and the enduring connection between food, place, and home.
