About Us

Hello! We are the food and nutrition nerds behind this experience.

The name Eat a Plum was inspired by my Grandmother Inez, who if I was whining about being hungry between meals, would admonish me to eat a plum. We had a thirty foot plum tree in the backyard, and in summer there were always ripe ones.

We are also poetry nerds, and love the beauty of food nearly as much as we do the healthy bits.

This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
