Amy Grisak is a freelance writer and photographer specializing in everything from gardening to outdoor recreation and natural history issues, particularly in her beautiful home state of Montana.

Amy is also a freelance writer for The Farmers’ Almanac. She discovered the importance of almanacs in everyday life, particularly for farmers. These books provided vital information about the moon phases and weather forecasts and contained practical articles and advertisements.  Amy continues her journey in writing and publishing and is dedicated to retaining the essence of these cherished almanacs, ensuring their continued significance in everyday life.
