In the Fall 2012 issue we announced our second annual Local Heroes contest and invited you, our readers, to vote for your favorite local food hero in each of five categories. We received a great number of votes this year and appreciate everyone who participated!
We are thrilled to announce the following winners:
FARM/FARMER: County Line Harvest
CHEF/RESTAURANT: River’s End, Jenner-by-the-Sea
FOOD RELATED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION: Fresh Starts Culinary Academy by Homeward Bound, Novato
FOOD/BEVERAGE ARTISAN: Cowgirl Creamery
FOOD SHOP: Spanish Table, Mill Valley
Many other very important and worthy local food heroes also received your votes. We are sorry that we do not have the room to list everyone—they are all winners in our book. If your own favorite local food hero did not win this year, look for the contest in the Fall 2013 issue of Edible Marin & Wine Country and let your voice be heard!
