The Windmill Market has launched its blog!

We finally have a forum to share all our tidbits of info on local farmers, cool artists, the best sandwiches, an interesting article on green living, recipes from our Produce Club, or whatever else pops into Mac's brain! Stay tuned for all the info you never thought you needed to know...

Media Frenzy

We've had a kind of media frenzy about the market recently! Here are the many places you can check us out:

Zalea
This beautiful local glossy mag did a 5 page spread on the market. Called "A Taste of the Green Life," the article shows us at our best! Only one major misprint- our windmill and solar panels don't produce all our power- in fact only a small percentage! But its a start, and a tool we are using to educate the folks in this area about all the possibilities in alternative power and green building.






Living Social
This deal website is making waves all over the country right now- you might have seen some of their cute ads on tv. The Mobile outpost of Living Social featured an incredible coupon for the Westside Grocery that tons of folks scooped up- stampede on the WestSide! Check out the deal here.



WHIL's last stand
As our local outpost of Public Radio enjoys its last few week before being moved to Tuscaloosa after being bought out, the hosts are featuring the stories THEY want to feature. Cathy Richardson aired an almost hour-long interview with Mac and Maggie Saturday, June 5 at 2PM. You can listen to it here.

Mobile Press Register
Did you see us in the Press Register Sunday, June 5? A group toured the facility with Rebecca Bryant of Watershed (Walcott, Adams, Verneuille's green building group) and Gina Walcott, and a reporter tagged along. The reporter was writing feverishly to take down all the green building tools we've used at the Market! You can find that article here.
