Welcome to Flourish,
Marin and the greater North Bay are not your average upscale communities. The folks here
really care. They care about the foods they eat, the places they visit, the way they spend their time
and way they live their lives. Living sustainably, supporting local businesses and eating local,
organic foods are not a niche lifestyle for you. You "get it" which is why you are included in our
exclusive distribution of Flourish.
We thought we'd call Flourish "the North Bay's Guide to Sustainable Living". But really, we're
not here to guide anyone. Flourish Magazine was designed to share and celebrate the unique
qualities of North Bay living. We will share local stories about the people making a difference in
green and sustainable living practices. We'll showcase our bountiful organic and local food movement. And we'll present local activities and getaways that are special to the North Bay lifestyle.
We hope to uncover the things that drive the movers and shakers in these areas and perhaps
trigger inspiration in others. Our goal with Flourish is to paint a picture of the sustainable North Bay lifestyle so readers can learn,
enjoy and, ultimately, Flourish in their own lives.
Flourish will publish quarterly. So look for us in local grocers soon. Print and digital subscriptions are available at
flourishmarin.com.
We hope you enjoy this inaugural edition and share it with friends and family. And let us know what you think.
Be well,
David Rounds
President and Publisher, Marin IJ and Flourish Magazine
