Audobon Park Community Market from Big Wheel Provisions on Vimeo.

The Audubon Park Community Market is the Ourlando community’s source for the best selection of truly local food, from produce and other farm goods to prepared foods, grocery items and meals. We work hard to bring you food that is grown, raised, caught, or carefully made right here in Florida, emphasizing freshness and encouraging sustainable practices. The market is a community of growers, ranchers, fishermen, chefs, artists, handicrafters, musicians and neighbors.

This weekly gathering of friends, local food, local art, live music and more takes place in the Stardust parking lot at 1842 E Winter Park Rd. Every Monday, from 6pm to 10pm, creating a place where people can come together.

Then there is this excellent video by Mark at the Daily City.

We set up a table Monday night at the market to pimp our blog to the passersby. Most people passered-by without so much as a “what is this?” or “This isn’t locally-produced goat cheese. Get out.” They took one look at me, my nose in my laptop, and my table covered in shoddy flyers and scurried past. I felt like a perfume lady at Dillards forced to spray Fergie’s latest scent on stranger’s inner wrists.

A few wanted to know about Taco Truck Taste Test. Once they learned what it was, they took a shoddy flyer. Hope they show up. Having a blog table at this market is wonderful. You see how known you are and how far you need to go. Grateful they let me set up shop once again. We’ll be back, sans goat cheese and well-designed marketing material of course.
