dible Chesapeake is a quarterly publication that celebrates the abundance of local and seasonal foods in the Chesapeake watershed. We celebrate family farmers, fishermen, food artisans, chefs, and other food-related businesses, as well as the consumers, home cooks and restaurant-goers who support them.

Both the publication and our web site are our contribution to the growing national movement throughout this country that is encouraging people to eat more locally-grown and locally-produced foods. By eating locally, we help sustain the small family farms that grow these foods, we enjoy food that is fresher, tastier and healthier for us, and we help reduce the cost on the environment - and in dollars - of transporting foods over long distances.

Edible Chesapeake, its publisher Renee Brooks Catacalos, and contributing editor Kristi Bahrenburg Janzen, have appeared in a variety of media. Here are some clips:
