At Edible Southeastern Massachusetts, we believe everyone should have access to fresh, local food—and the stories behind it. That’s why our magazine is free at eSEMA partner farmers’ markets and local businesses throughout the region. Our website is free too, so everyone can stay connected to the people, ideas, and flavors that make our community thrive.But if you’re wondering why you should subscribe to something free (we get it), here are a few great reasons:
