13 Years Celebrating Local Food, Drink, Community

Edible South Florida taps into what people care about right now – sustainable living, local food, chefs and restaurants, food artisans, healthy school lunches, community gardens, craft beer and spirits, being green. Since 2010, Edible South Florida has been the voice of the local food movement, reaching exactly the people you want to reach: loyal folks who are passionate about supporting our local community, searching out the products, services and places that satisfy their discerning tastes. They trust us to c onnect them to what they care about.

When COVID-19 closed down farmers markets and restaurants, readers turned to us for regular updates on how and where to get local food, restaurant delivery and takeout services, food distribution for those in need and other timely topics. They also found us a valuable resource for new pandemic hobbies: sourdough, recipes (especially baking!), backyard gardening, among other topics.

As the voice of the local food movement, edible South Florida is the ideal way to reach affluent, engaged consumers who support local businesses.

15,000 copies of this full-color free quarterly publication are published each season: January (Winter), April (Spring), July (Summer) and October (Fall). They’re delivered to Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. And many readers choose to subscribe! Each issue, you reach well over 45,000 readers. (Pass-along readership). As an advertiser, you get edible South Florida to give to your customers. They’ll thank you and come back for more!

Your ad will be in a respected publication surrounded by quality editorial – not amid a clutter of ads for strip clubs or sleazy massage parlors. We’re more than just a print magazine. When you advertise, you’ll be part of our social network: Twitter, Facebook,Instagram. And we’re part of a James Beard Award-winning family of publications – Edible Communities – that represents the thoughtful voice of the local food movement with 80+ magazines in the United States and Canada.
