About The Accidental Locavore – Anne Maxfield

Anne Maxfield is a multi-talented serial entrepreneur. Her vision for the Accidental Locavore is to take the mystery out of farmer’s markets and show you how she cooks with what’s local and fresh. With recipes, videos and a sense of humor, see how easy it is to take advantage of the best of what’s local and fresh.

With a recent move to Nice, France, she’ll be facing new adventures eating great food and meeting new purveyors in her happy place.

Anne, a brilliant business woman and entrepreneur is also available for consulting projects from building businesses to recipe development.

“Consulting allows me to merge two of my passions-food and building businesses. If you’re like my favorite clients, you’re passionate about food and you’d probably rather take out the garbage than look at a spreadsheet, right?”

She is an excellent writer, has experience with social media, business, marketing, finance, starting or running a business. She’s also passionate about food, has a wonderful aesthetic and is intensely committed to any project she is involved with.  Contact Anne at anne@accidental-locavore.com.
