I knew that when edible Reno-Tahoe came on the scene, things were changing. If there is enough fervor for a chapter of this prestigious and beautiful magazine, then that’s got to mean really good things. I’m grateful for its contribution because through its direct research, support, and stories, it’s been a huge part of that shift.

— Amber Sallaberry, founder of the Great Basin Community Food Co-op in Reno
