Chris Malloy is a writer from the Northeast now based in the Southwest. For stories, he has gone foraging in the southern Rockies and Sonoran Desert, trailed a quest to brew ale overnight in a forest, roamed a feral mountain orchard with cider-making scientists, and gone hunting with Apaches. He covers mostly food, culture, agriculture, the environment, and innovation.
