Leave it to the team at Edible Boston to create a cover that perfectly describes our slow melt into spring.<\/p>\n

\"Edible-cover-spring-2015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My first stop when my preview copy of this publication arrives in the mail is to read publisher Ilene Bezahler's letter to her readers or family as she considers the local food community.<\/p>\n

This month, she had something very important to say and I'm going to quote her message. It's something we've been writing about since the impact of this winter became apparent.<\/p>\n

\n

"This spring I would like to extend my family by inviting the members of the local food community to join me at an imaginary table.<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the 9 years that I have been publishing the magazine I\u2019ve enjoyed many a meal, a drink or just a relaxed conversation with these new family members. We\u2019ve shared stories of our lives, daily events, troubles and accomplishments. And like families do, we have helped each out when help is needed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, now is the time that our family needs help. This past winter has been brutal and the economic impact on the local economy is huge. Think about how many days stores and restaurants had to close due to snow. A closed business means no revenue, revenue that cannot be made up.<\/em><\/p>\n

How can we help? Shop in your local store rather than online. Eat out a little more than usual. Pay full price for merchandise rather than waiting for a sale. Remember a little action on our part will have a big impact on our food family."<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Edible Boston is a local business, too.<\/h2>\n

And, they can also use your support. Here's what I always say about that.<\/p>\n

How do you support a publisher like Ilene Bezahler and her remarkably talented team?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here's where you can pick up a copy.<\/a><\/p>\n

May I suggest that you let their sponsors know you saw them in the magazine and grab an extra copy and get it to someone else who cares about supporting the local food movement. Also, if you have a blog, twitter account, or facebook page, write about them, link to them, follow them,<\/a> retweet their tweets, like them<\/a> on Facebook, and in general, spread the word about this great asset to our community.<\/p>\n

And, to be sure you never miss an issue, you can subscribe over on their website!<\/a><\/p>\n
