Pretty good ink, as they say in the biz.

Julie's generosity reflects the sensual and earthy bounty of the market she's helped found: The Clayton Farmers' Market. Here, it's the simple pleasures that count: locally and organically raised fruits and veggies; freshly baked breads; and dairy and meat products from free-range animals.

She did mention this in a post, I discover after searching, but without the link I bet most of you never saw it.

Good work, shroomgirl.

Thank you.....it was pretty accurate. It's always a crap shoot with the press, you never know if there is a hidden agenda until a piece comes out twisted. Pam did her homework and visited the market spending a couple of hours soaking in the ambiance. It is reflected in the story.
I've been writing Joan Gussow about St. Louis's sustainable connections and the work ST Louis University Dieticians are doing with local organic products. There is an art to writing and I appreciate it more when I see a concise, well written piece.

Thanks again for the thread
