The Preserve Journal #10
A seasonal and independent magazine dedicated to the exploration of a more responsible, transparent, and sustainable food culture. Through it, we explore an alternative way of life: one filled with curiosity, honesty, and a lot of love, one that is a powerful form of activism in itself.
