This is a teaser. A rough draft. This is to give you an imaginary sneak preview of what COULD happen. 
This is NOT going to be an “EDIBLE CENTRAL COAST” where we spend oodles of money. 
This will be a grassroots effort to strengthen the sustainable food industry on the central coast.
If you wish to participate in some way, in any way, please let me know soon. I would LOVE to come out with a 
16 page sneak preview of GOOD FOOD this March / April, 2009 but I need your input.

More titles? More writers? More advertisers? More resources? Let us begin!
