Myra Good­man is a well-known pio­neer in the world of organ­ic food and farm­ing and the author of three cook­books. In 1984, she and her hus­band, Drew, found­ed Earth­bound Farm, which became the largest grow­er of organ­ic pro­duce in the world. The Good­mans have been cred­it­ed with help­ing to bring organ­ic food to the main­stream, and they were the first com­pa­ny to suc­cess­ful­ly mar­ket pack­aged sal­ads for retail sales. Myra’s father, Mendek Rubin, was a bril­liant inven­tor who devised the ini­tial equip­ment used to wash and pack­age their greens.

Myra is the daugh­ter of two Holo­caust sur­vivors. Her father, Mendek, was able to over­come his tremen­dous trau­ma to become the hap­pi­est and most peace­ful per­son she has ever known. After his death in 2012, she dis­cov­ered an unfin­ished man­u­script about his heal­ing jour­ney. Pick­ing up where he left off, Myra spent many years research­ing and writ­ing the miss­ing parts of his sto­ry. The result of this remark­able posthu­mous father-daugh­ter col­lab­o­ra­tion is the inspir­ing spir­i­tu­al mem­oir, Quest for Eter­nal Sun­shine: A Holo­caust Sur­vivor’s Jour­ney from Dark­ness to Light.

Myra has appeared on nation­al tele­vi­sion shows, includ­ing Oprah, Reg­is & Kel­ly, and Good Morn­ing Amer­i­ca Health, and has been fea­tured in hun­dreds of pub­li­ca­tions, includ­ing Peo­ple Mag­a­zine, The Cost­co Con­nec­tion, More, Forbes, The New York Times, and AARP. Myra and Drew have two grown chil­dren and con­tin­ue to live on their orig­i­nal farm in Carmel Val­ley with their three yel­low labs, Oscar, Hen­ry, and Leo.
