In My Backyard
Food and neighborhood DIY (do-it-yourself) projects go hand in hand for Lisa Bralts, who lives in an east Urbana neighborhood with her family and is surrounded by great neighbors and several gardens, including her own. She's amazed at the possibilities and practices that exist just underneath the surface here in Central Illinois - you just have to poke around a little. Her blog is at majorprogression.wordpress.com.

This week Lisa talks to a micro processor who decidedly is NOT dealing in corn or soybeans. Daniel Schreiber, proprietor of Flatlander Chocolate (featured in this piece), passed away on July 27. For more about Dan's life from his friends and family, go to http://www.rememberingdan.org. A fund in Dan's honor has been established to carry out his dream of a community kitchen mentioned in the story. For more details go to http://flatlanderfund.org.
