This spring 2025 issue marks our first anniversary. Thank you to all who welcomed us to Portland! What a year it has been…in the beginning we had little idea what went into publishing a magazine. We still don’t know it all, but we have learned so much from talented freelancers, both writers and photographers. And then, last September, Dean Cambrey came into our lives bringing his expertise with him. Dean has allowed us to make major steps toward expanding our content through his great talent as a photographer and videographer. It is Dean who makes our podcasts possible. If you have not yet done so, check us out on our YouTube channel, Apple, or Spotify. We have so many people to thank. The list is long and filled with the names of Portland's culinary community, including chefs, restaurant owners, producers, farmers, wine stewards, winemakers, fishermen and women, friends, supporters, Bruce Cole, our designer in San Francisco, and, of course, the great folks at Edible Communities. As you know, the beautiful magazine you hold in your hands is absolutely FREE. We keep our little magazine going through advertisers, and we want to heartily thank those who have allowed us to help share their great products and services. It took a while for people to learn that Edible Portland was back after a 6-year hiatus, so the number of clients has been slow to grow, though finally we are gaining traction just a bit. We recently started a crowdfunding campaign through Givebutter to supplement the advertiser funds. The need for additional money has grown as we’ve continued the publication in the past year. We are a hard-working, scrappy pair who believe in our purpose–to inform readers about who is choosing the sustainable way and where these foods and beverages can be found. However, we need a bit of a prop up. We hope you will consider donating if you have enjoyed reading our stories. If everyone gives a little, we can stretch it into a lot. These additional funds will help us grow and increase opportunities to showcase our local producers and makers.

Salud! Deborah LETTER FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF
