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!
Hazy Shade Of Winter
Seasons change with their scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won’t you stop and remember me
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a Hazy Shade of Winter…
(Hazy Shade of Winter-currently listening to the Bangles version)
The song that could really reflect all of the seasons of the soul. For me, it will always be a wintery song, that used to blast out of my little car, as I sped into the night, down/up/all around Mulholland Drive, back in my Los Angeles days.
Looking out my windows, this morning, I am seeing our own hazy shade of winter, the beauty to some, the dreary to others.
On days like this, who wants to even think about bundling up to trudge out the grocery. Stay cozy, enjoy the glow of the Christmas lights if you are decorated for the holiday, grab a cup of hotness, and pull up our market site. Order all that you may need, this week, for your upcoming days of cooking, dining, or gifting…we can totally help you out!
Let us take care of these hazy shades of winter kind of days…you, just order, and take it easy…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
PS…for real fun, dig out your old Bangles music, put it on, dance it out…a real 80s groove!
