Like many small businesses, we had to adapt to 2020’s challenges, one of which was a loss of ad revenue. We ceased printing our monthly digest, but there are many more stories to tell. With the digital version of Salty, we continue to share Island food stories, and you can be a part of it. No amount is too small (or large!), and we thank you for being a part of our Salty family. Our readers’ support will allow us to bring new original Prince Edward Island food stories in the future.
