Annie Toro Lopez Bio

A lifetime food and food culture enthusiast, Annie Toro Lopez received her degree in English from Metro State University of Denver as an Alumni Scholar. With an eye on serving her community, she taught middle school literacy for nearly a decade where her students were among the top performing in the state of Colorado. After experiencing burnout from the taxing public education system, Annie dedicated more time to her small seed preservation farm on the high prairie, cultivating seeds and seed stories. Shortly after forming her own publishing company, High Prairie Press, two lifetime loves-stories and food-culminated in bringing to life a cookbook that preserves regional recipes, stories, and food memories. It is the third book published by High Prairie Press.
