What are the Local Food Awards?
Every autumn, readers of edible Rhody are invited to vote for their local food heroes, as a way to honor the people who bring us our food and drink. Winners are announced every February — and you’ll be able to read all about them in the Spring Issue, coming out March 21st!
We’d like to extend our thanks to all of you who voted for the chefs who feed us; the artisans who tempt us; the farmers who produce flavorful foods; the food, wine and retail stores that inspire us; and the nonprofits that effect change in our food community. — edible Rhody
