Regarding Cape Cod Beer, Dianne Langeland, who along with her husband Doug own and publish ECC, explains “This young family-owned company (less than four years old) does everything right: it turns out a quality product, adheres to ecologically-sound business practices, has created a devoted following through it's customer loyalty program and strong branding campaign, and is extremely active in the community. And the fact that they make great beer is clearly not lost on our readers.” Todd Marcus, Brewmaster and owner of Cape Cod Beer adds “We love what Edible Cape Cod is doing for our community. They are really building a demand for fresh local foods – and what could be better for Cape Cod than that? We’re flattered to be recognized for our efforts and glad to be part of the process!”
