SANTA FE, NM, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Edible Communities, the collective organization of more than 75 hyper-local food and drink publications across the U.S. and Canada, proudly announces the winners of its annual Best of Edible Awards. These awards celebrate the outstanding work of Edible Communities' publishers. Each year, they document the histories, stories, trends, and events surrounding local food and drink in their regions through engaging narratives, vivid photography, and creative design.
Edible publications are dedicated to taking readers to the fields, boats, and kitchens of their area’s farmers, fishers, and chefs. They celebrate the bounty of local ingredients through recipes and amplify the voices of local artisans and producers, sharing with readers crucial and compelling stories of where our food comes from.
The Best of Edible Awards honor the finest content published in the print magazines in 2024. Hundreds of entries were submitted across categories including features, photography, recipes, illustrations, and more.
Finalists were chosen through a rigorous peer review process. The final winners in each category were then selected by a distinguished panel of three accomplished, award-winning writers and industry leaders in the food space: author Elissa Altman; author and founding editor of Saveur Dorothy Kalins; and educator and author Katherine Miller.
“The work submitted this year truly represents the heart and soul of local food journalism,” said Tracey Ryder, CEO and co-founder of Edible Communities. “These publications are vital to their communities, connecting readers to the land, the people, and the ingredients that define their region.
