Just in time for harvest season, Greenmarket and Edible magazines present the first annual Edible Eat • Drink • Local Week to celebrate the farmers, artisans and chefs who fill our bellies, green our region and enrich our lives.

At the end of the week, they will make voluntary contributions to Greenmarket, a program of the Council on the Environment of New York City, to benefit its Youth Education Project, which works to teach and nurture the eaters of tomorrow.
