Farm-To-Table Cooking Class: Carrot Pickles with AncestralRebel

Her work centers Indigenous foodways, cultural revitalization, community education, storytelling, and relational approaches to land stewardship and healing.

A community-taught chef, educator, artist, photographer, writer, and advocate, Grignon brings an interdisciplinary and deeply place based approach to cultural practice rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems, collective care, and
intergenerational learning.

Her family owns an Indigenous Homestead called Ancient Roots in Bowler, Wisconsin, where they research traditional gardening practices from their Ancestors
dating back from ages ago to present day. They use a combination of ancestral methods to learn, preserve, grow, seed save, reconnect, and share.

Grignon is the co-creator of AncestralRebel, a collaborative public humanities and culinary initiative that bridges Indigenous and South Asian food traditions, histories, and storytelling practices. Through feasts, workshops, talks, and participatory
gatherings, AncestralRebel explores how food, kinship, migration, and shared cultural practice can function as tools for decolonial dialogue, community-building, and cultural memory.

Her approach to food, education, and writing, is inspired by her Ancestors, long line of lineage, Community, and learning from observing her older than human relatives.
