Donna Kearns, County and Quinte Living’s publisher, has been attending events in Prince Edward County even before she moved here.

Swinging through the County one day, on the way to other destinations, Kearns and a friend thought they’d stop and attend TASTE! a celebration of regional cuisine. They were delighted. Kearns felt she already had a “feel for the place” by the time she made Prince Edward County her home in 2007.

Kearns’ story of her first encounter with TASTE! parallels her vision in creating a lifestyle magazine to celebrate Prince Edward County and the Quinte region. She has published County and Quinte Living for the past three years, a magazine that features an everyday look at the community and people she loves. Kearns feels connected to the area and that through her publication she is giving a glimpse into the life in the area. “The County has a kinder and gentler feel as opposed to a bustle and yet, the people are proactive and energetic,” Kearns affirms.

Kearns became a TASTE! event supporter as she viewed the opportunity as a natural “partnership.” Both the event and her print and online magazine offer ways to experience the variety of delectable culinary treats and vineyard offerings. She is inviting people to share in the abundance of a Prince Edward County lifestyle.

We’re glad Donna Kearns drove through and returned to stay!
