File under: Why the hell did I not do this myself?
In 2009, three sisters from Cincinnati secured the local franchise from Edible Communities Publications, and Edible Ohio Valley magazine was born. I happened upon a copy at our local farmers’ market not long after the first edition was published in the summer of 2010, and I was hooked.
Here was a well-crafted magazine, made right in my own backyard, that celebrated local food and the farmers and producers who bring it to our tables. I had to be a part of this. And when I spotted the three Kramer sisters handing out copies at Cincinnati’s famous Findlay Market, where we do our weekly grocery shopping, I ran over to introduce myself.
[Actually, I think I made a fool of myself, I was so completely, gushily enthusiastic about what they were doing and so eager to contribute.]
A short while later, I found myself at an editorial brainstorm session with the women and other contributors, and then found myself with my first feature assignment. Edible has published some of my very best work, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to tell great stories. Stories about chefs, farmers and producers who are committed to bringing healthful, wholesome, seasonal food to my table and my neighbors’. I’m pleased and proud to be the Cultivators columnist for Edible Ohio Valley magazine.
