Comestible

Comestible is a platform for food, the places it comes from and the people who grow it.

***

We publish zines, artwork, stories and a weekly newsletter devoted to food. We like to use food as a lens to look at other critical issues, from gender to culture to politics.

Ultimately, Comestible is a celebration of real food, accessible to real people.

Comestible is about celebrating the one thing that sustains us and brings us together, no matter who we are or where we are in the world.

Come join us.
