Our readers tell us that they make decisions about where to eat, shop, and visit based on both the stories and the ads in Edible Chesapeake. Check out our advertising information here.

Edible Chesapeake Out and About!
Publisher and Editor Renee Catacalos was honored to participate in Farm to Table: Women & Local Food, held at The Boot in Norfolk on June 29. The event was a fundraiser for Friends of Women's Studies, benefitting the Women's Studies Department at Old Dominion University. The lively discussion ranged from the challenges of starting the first farm market in Norfolk in 30 years, to accessing local foods conveniently, to the increase in organic farming in the Hampton Roads area. Kathleen Fogarty (far right) of New Earth Farm moderated the panel, which included (right to left) Bev Sell, creator of the Five Points Community Farm Market, Michele Shean, farmer and owner of Virgina Garden Organic Grocery, and Renee.
