The Weblog
The local foods movement is alive and well in Champaign County! Here are some updates on other projects while we finalize our virtual market:
Local Producers Map:
Our local producers map is ready for publication and you will soon be able to find it on gochampaign.com. Copies will be distributed around the community, in the local telephone book, and other “hangouts”. The guide lists the location and contact information for nearly 50 local producers within our county. The map was a project of the Local Food Council and printed with the help of some local sponsors including the Monument Square District, Champaign Bank, the Community Improvement Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau and others. It is a great start to finding a local source for Champaign County’s finest!

Thursday Pick Up!
If you placed an order for this week, today is market pick up day!
Order pick up is from 3pm-5:30
Friday 10am=12pm
Saturday 10am-4pm
I just need to know if you need a Friday or Saturday pick up, if you are not already a regular Friday/Saturday pick up!
ALSO…it’s been a cold few days!!! Today will be a bit warmer, but not enough for me to be standing in the cold greenhouse…lol.
So, the market is set up, inside the shop, and I will watch for your cars to pull up, and I will be out with your orders! It may take a few minutes, but I will gather it all up, and be out to you!!
Thank you for always supporting this amazing, long standing, local vendor driven market…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Well, welcome back, lovely market customers!! We are officially back, and the market is opening for ordering, early today!!
Have you missed us? Did you have a lovely holiday? Are we ready for the winter portion of this market?
The market missed you, the vendors have rested, and we are all back to greet you!!
I’ve added new soups to brighten this month, keep you warm, and to keep you nourished…
I have been on the look for another lettuce vendor….we sadly do miss Kevin, and his amazing lettuce, but he is off in a new direction, and we wish him well!!
Have a lovely day, and a lovely ordering week in this first market of 2024…we are glad to have you back…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
