In a world-class city where consumers are ripe for knowledge about the origins of their food, EDIBLE CHICAGO offers its readers a direct connection to the local producers who can provide a bounty of fresh ingredients for consumption.

Rich with editorial content and stunning photography, our mission is to transform the way communities shop for, cook, eat and relate to the food that is grown and produced in our area. We value local, seasonal, authetic foods and culinary traditions. At EDIBLE CHICAGO, we strive to put a face on every farmer as well as tell their stories and champion their efforts towards a more sustainable food system.
