I keep meaning to post about how awesome Edible San Diego is. The Willises, who publish the magazine, have done two issues now and I’m blown away by how much work they’ve put into it and by the issues themselves. (Full disclosure, I wrote a small piece in their most recent issue but frankly it was kind of a sidebar, everything else in the issue is much richer.)

Anyway, the magazine is a great resource for learning about farms in town and about the remnants of what’s left of the food infrastructure in San Diego…what’s left from the days before the nearly complete industrialization of our food. There’s not much, but it’s heartening to learn about what’s out there and to find out there are a lot of folks working independently to re-establish viable local food. What the Willises are doing is connecting all of us who are interested in seeing this happen, so we can be more effective and really have it come to fruition. I’m very grateful that they are putting forth all this effort so we can experience eating in a more meaningful way, more often.

You can get a copy of Edible San Diego for free (!) at one of these locations. I’m eagerly awaiting Issue #3.
