Edible Allegheny Magazine

The latest issue of Edible Allegheny (www.edibleallegheny.com) is out. The folks in Western PA are really doing things right when it comes to sustainable agriculture. EA highlights ALL of the things we are trying to do in WV - farmers markets, farm to chef connections, farm to restaurant, year round markets, etc etc. The Edible series of magazines (www.ediblenation.com) now covers nearly 50 areas of the country. Based on the success of EA, perhaps a WV publisher would be interested in creating an Edible Appalachia magazine. That would be great. Anyone involved in sustainable ag in WV should subscribe to Edible Allegheny. I've got the Romney Farmers Market (www.romneyfarmersmarket.com) listed in their directory. When I spoke to them a few months ago, they said they are more than happy to cover WV based farms and activities. The thought occurs that we need to get the EA staff involved in the Cast Iron Event. I'm sure they would write a great article to promote the event as well as a followup to summarize the event. The CIC is exactly the type of event that they like to focus on. The POC at EA is Victoria Bradley, Executive Editor, 412-431-7888.

I was searching around for an "Edible" magazine that might fit my relatively new West Virginia local. Offering a little CSA to former colleagues at the Smithsonian. Check us out at http://lucindaville.blogspot.com.
