Morgan Smith
Writer/Social Media Manager
Found curiously exploring in the mountains of Squamish, Morgan is a self-proclaimed food-obsessed writer. Never a stranger to a new spot popping up in town, she’ll ecstatically steer you in the direction of something memorable — whether the perfect bowl of soup, a must-see concert or a place where the lighting is just right. When she’s not writing or badgering you to get a compost bin, she can be found among the trees, listening to music a bit too loud or making elaborate meals for herself. Find her on Instagram @gimmemorge.
Susan Fitzgerald
Copy Editor
Susan is an editor based in Vancouver. She is passionate about social and environmental issues related to food, and when she’s not editing, she works with a community organization that shares healthy rescued food with folks in need.
