We Celebrate Maine Through Food, Place & Story

Rooted in Maine soil and inspired by the people who shape its tables, edible MAINE tells the stories of food, craft, and community that make our state unlike anywhere else.

We believe that food is more than sustenance — it’s culture, connection, and the thread that ties us together. From coast to county, we shine a light on the farmers, chefs, makers, and readers who define Maine’s flavor and spirit.

Mission and Values

edible MAINE exists to bring readers closer to the food systems, people, and landscapes that sustain our communities. Each quarterly issue is a love letter to Maine’s seasons — to what grows, brews, bakes, and gathers here. We explore how food and food systems connect us: to one another, to our environment, and to the shared values of quality, sustainability, and authenticity that define Maine.

93% of our readers take action after reading — because stories about Maine’s food are stories about all of us.

The People Behind the Curtain

Authentic storytelling starts with passionate people. Our team brings experience from journalism, hospitality, design, and community leadership — all united by a love for Maine’s food and drink culture.

Christopher leads edible MAINE’s editorial vision and business strategy. With deep roots in the restaurant and creative communities, he founded the magazine to connect readers and makers through honest, high-quality storytelling.

A longtime voice in Maine’s creative scene, Kirsten helps to shape the tone and texture of our editorial content — bringing together contributors, photographers, and chefs to tell stories that inspire readers statewide.

Lauren captures the beauty, craft, and humanity behind every story. Her photography brings warmth and immediacy to the pages of edible MAINE, reminding readers why our state is worth celebrating.
