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!
Rainy Days and Mondays
What I feel has come and gone before…
No need to talk it out…
We know what it’s all about…
Hangin’ around…
Nothin’ to do but frown…
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
(Rainy Days and Mondays-The Carpenters)
Well, today certainly does fit the song title and lyric of this Weblog! It’s been a non-stop, cold, dreary, drizzling kind of day. The kind of day that just continued to be more gray, more cold, and more like moving into early winter instead of late spring!
But, the good news for days like, today, is that the sun will always shine, it has to get warmer, and you always have bright and shiny things, like this little local market of love, to see you through!
Who cares what the weather is doing if you don’t have to be out in it to shop! Who cares if it’s dreary, when we have so many products that scream spring, sunshine, and nice days ahead!
At this market, we ONLY know goodness, and smiles, and happiness, and lovely products. So, curl up, get cozy, and start your orders! You will be so happy when Thursday rolls around, and all you have to do is stop at the YMCA to grab your pocket full of sunshine with spring produce, live plants and herbs, spring garlic, and all of the rest of the products!
Rainy days and Mondays may always get you down, but now you can turn them into the happiest days with placing your market orders!
Peace, Love, and Grooviness…
