Martha Bayne

Chicago, IL

I'm a writer and editor whose work orbits (very) loosely around food, drink, urban agriculture, sustainable food systems, and creative approaches to community building and social justice concerns. I am also a bartender at the Hideout, and have an iPhoto library full of beauty shots of soup.
