Advertiser Information
IT’S ALL ABOUT LOCALS.
Since 2013, Made Local Magazine is the definitive local print and digital magazine about our LOCAL food system and economy, produced by the folks at GO LOCAL.
Made Local Magazine has a pulse on the real food, beverage, and entrepreneurial culture of Sonoma County, with high quality content that’s more on par with national publications.
Made Local Magazine tells the stories that people are increasingly wanting to be connected with. LOCAL farmers, ranchers, food and beverage producers, grocers, restaurants, and non-profits have a role in how our daily food makes it to our tables. We provide authentic LOCAL coverage that reflects the complexities of growing our local economy and feeding nearly a half a million people every day.
MAKE•GROW•EAT•DRINK
In addition to our longstanding feature story sections covering EAT, DRINK and GROW, in 2020 we added a MAKE section to spotlight stories on local artisans, makers and other entrepreneurs.
The magazine has built on established branding that’s easily recognized by the logos and simple message: ”Choose LOCAL First”. GO LOCAL has been going strong since 2010 and generates around 500 million gross impressions annually.
“I just finished reading Made Local Magazine, cover to cover, and as usual I enjoyed it ALL – another great issue! I especially appreciated the focus on “good fire”; I found it both comforting and healing. I appreciate your editor and the other contributors for sharing their experiences and reflections. Your magazine always has its finger on the pulse of our great community. Thanks to you and your team for the tremendous care and effort you put into each issue.”
– Karen H., Cloverdale
