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!

Hey, Hey!


It’s Thursday evening, another market pick up has come and gone, and now it’s time to reopen for the weekly orders!!

I have returned from vacation, and am back to baking with a limited menu, for a few weeks!! I will have certain items, available, because as you all may remember that this time, last year, I had my skin cancer surgery on my lip, and was out for some time, during recovery.

Well, sad to report that my poor face will need to go into another treatment, for a couple of weeks, to treat my entire face of more cells….not looking forward to it, and am not sure how I will be feeling with it all, so I am baking in a limited way, just because I love you all so very much!!

You will see all that I have to offer, when you log on to order!!

AND…drumroll…your favorite Pulled Pork is now back from Oakview Farm Meats!! That is an item that goes fast, so order up, and order to stock your freezers!!

Much love to all of you…and I look forward to getting through these next few weeks so I can be in full speed mode, again!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

What's The Story, Morning Glory?


Today’s the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
Walkin’ to the sound of my favorite tune…
(Oasis)

Good morning, Happy Monday, time to wake up!!

It’s Monday, and, as you know, you have until tomorrow at 8am, to get your market orders in!!

So many things to choose from, and so much local loveliness!! It’s so easy, it’s so fun, and when you leave with your weekly orders, you can feel good about all of the products you are taking home!!

I am sitting with coffee, working on my own ordering for the week, and listening to this song, on one of my favorite albums.

Fun fact…when I first moved to this area, so many years ago (I originally was here for two years, beginning in 1999…lol…and, I never left) I briefly started a little word of mouth baking business called, Morning Glory. It was a muffin baking business, that was short lived, but also, it planted the seed that one day, I would have more time and vision…and, look what happened…

Anyway, have a lovely day, get your orders in, and I will see you on Thursday, if you are picking up your order!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Come On Get Happy!


Hello world, hear the song that we’re singin’
Come on, get happy…
(Partridge Family)

Happy Thursday, and it was another great market pick up, even in the pouring rain, and faulty phone service for customers!!

Of course, the minute I arrived home, the sky cleared up, and sun was peeking through. Thank you for coming out in the weather, and for always supporting this little local market!!

I am opening the market, again, for the week, so jump on and grab all of what the market has to offer!!

We get a happy feelin’ when we’re singin’ a song…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Tuesday Wake Up!
