Why Advertise With edible MAINE
The Trusted Maine Media Brand That’s Already Proven
For more than eight years, edible MAINE has been connecting Maine’s most intentional consumers with brands that share their values.
We’re not the new name on the block — we’re an established, data-backed publication trusted by readers, chefs, farmers, and small businesses alike. Every number we share is verified, every feature story authentic and never bought, and every paid partnership rooted in community and clearly labeled.
Our audience’s love of good food reflects a broader way of living — one built on sustainability, craftsmanship, and quality. They’re the Mainers and visitors who invest in their homes, their health, their finances, and their experiences with the same care they give to what’s on their plate.
That’s what makes edible MAINE more than a magazine — it’s a network of people who buy intentionally and believe in Maine’s best.
