2 Join us in celebrating the Story of Local Food A t Edible Northeast Florida, we believe food does so much more than simply fill our bellies. Food is potential energy. It holds the power to nourish our families, support individual good health, and grow a local economy. It s a catalyst for bringing people together. What s more, everybody eats. As the region s only magazine dedicated exclusively to telling the story on local food, we know consumers are increasingly curious about what they re eating, where it comes from and how it s grown. Why? Because it really matters. It matters to our economy, our environment, and perhaps most importantly, our quality of life. Edible Northeast Florida is a print publication, published six (6) times a year, and distributed free to the public. From discussions on culinary trends to innovations in food production, tested recipes to gardening tips, our mission is to provide content that engages readers in supporting and sustaining our local food culture. While many of our readers have been enthusiastic champions of local food for years, we aim to engage even more people in the process of cultivating and celebrating a sustainable local food community. Edible Northeast Florida sees advertisers as partners in this process. The brands represented on our pages know they are making a wise marketing decision today, while also ensuring they ll have community supporters for the future. Advertising with us means you re aligning your business with values we share, like quality, community and authenticity. We understand that businesses are inundated with solicitations to spend money on advertising, and the decision to invest especially for small business owners is a big one. In a crowded and noisy marketplace, Edible Northeast Florida offers something truly unique: exceptional content, a targeted marketing presence, and the opportunity to be part of something big. We invite you to join us, and look forward to connecting soon. Amy Robb Publisher

Insert information & quotes available on request. Ask about our design and photography services. Ad File Format Specifications: 300+ DPI TIFF or highest-quality JPG, CMYK EPS or PDF file with fonts embedded or outlined Please make sure your ad is the correct dimensions (see opposite side) and is CMYK, not RGB. Full-bleed ads: Please make sure no text is within ¼ inch of the trimline. Here are some terms you may need to know: BLEED - To print right up to the edge of the page, printers print past the edge of the page, then cut it to size. The area that s printed on, but is cut off, is called the bleed. HIGH-RES/DPI - Dots Per Inch, also called resolution. This describes how many dots are printed in one square inch of paper. Computer monitors have much lower resolution (72) than print (300+), so images that look big on your computer need to look huge on your computer to look good in print. CMYK/RGB - Our printer combines Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black to make colors. Computers use Red, Green, and Blue. TIFF - An image file format that is very large, but doesn t compress the image to save space, and so is great for print. JPG - A compressed image file format that trades quality for a smaller file size. JPG s can be used as long as they are set to high quality (low/no compression) and are at least as big as the size required (see the opposite side for pixel dimensions for ads). Questions?
