Gracias (said in my very Michigan accent) Edible Baja Arizona! I am now a denizen of the great Baja and your publication is major eye candy and a reliable source of knowledge on being a proud locavore. I could not have said it better than Maribel Alvarez, without a story, food has no sabor or flavor. Well, Edible Baja Arizona is the cure for that. It is packed with the behind the scenes stories of restauranteurs, farmers, brewers, produce brokers, who focus on farm to table. Color me impressed, when I spotted that Barbara Kingsolver and Andrew Weil M.D. wrote articles for the inagural issue! I would forage any day with Barbara! I found the list of what's in season and the local farmer's markets very useful. And I cannot wait to whip me up some of the Tepary Bean Hummus, what a cool use of Native foods. I loved the shout out to my beloved Food Swap Tucson and hope more people join us! In a time of GMO's, obesity, and diabetes we need an outstanding publication focusing on local foodsheds, such as this. I can't wait to check out the advertisers and the businesses who support this magazine. I am super jazzed to check out your fermenting class held in partnership with MOCA. Hopefully, in the future you could add an events section, and I would love to see a bevy of educational opportunities. I know I already mentioned it, but I have to again! The eye candy!!!! The pictures are so vibrant, a visual kalediscope to tempt your tastbuds. Now if I could just get my hands on some Bacanora, "The destilled essence of Sonora", which also coincedtally was the liquid courage behind Edible Baja Arizona. I picked up my free copy at Civano Nursery but you can also subscribe. I just wish I could write for them or volunteer, but I am no Pulitzer Prize finalist, but I do have ideas like an article on the pop up secret supper clubs that Tucson offers and my killer idea for a zymology guild. You are right on Edible Baja Arizona, so keep writing on!!!! read more

On Sunday, I took the Sonoran Sojourn to Heritage Orchards with 5 girlfriends. Edible Baja Arizona has just started doing these excursions. We all had the best time. This trip was absolutely well-planned, informative, and fun. Our tour guide Jesus Manuel Garcia was so full of information!! He talked the whole way to Mexico to the group (we were on a tour bus) about everything we saw on the way from the landscape, the architecture, the politics, the food and the differences between cultures and countries. He has so much passion for this! We visited an orchard in and learned about everything about the workings of the orchard, we also went to a home in Magdalena where we were greeted with such hospitality - we had a wonderful Mexican lunch there, (tostadas, rice and beans, quesadillas, tacos, bread pudding, and quince, along with beer and horchata), we tried our hand at making tortillas, and listened to Ronstandt Generations - there were AWESOME!! We had time to wander around Magdalena and to shop. The tour started in Mission Gardens where we learned about the uniqueness of the gardens. There was a 3 and a half hour unexpected wait to cross back over the border to the U.S., and our tour absolutely made the best of this - they jumped out of the bus and purchased more beer and a bottle of tequila, and pulled out the instruments and sang at the back of the bus!! Jesus and his fiance joined them!! They just made the best out of every unexpected circumstance - they made it so enjoyable and comfortable, and fun!! I can't wait to do another one these - you would never know they were new at the excursion business! I LOVED this trip!! read more
