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!

Long Monday


Gonna be a long Monday
Sittin’ all alone on a mountain by a river that has no end
Gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock that’s come unwound again
(Long Monday-John Prine)

This song, all of John Prine, love him…and, who else has found this day to be long, never ending, dreary, and just a no motivation day?

Yes, even your market manager has a bit of the Monday blues. So much so that I have now given up, poured a glass of wine, put dinner in the oven, and put on one of the most comforting voices I know…John Prine.

I’m getting ready to sit and sip and place my market order. Who’s with me?? What else do you have going on, this rainy night?

This little local market of love has so much to offer, and it’s just waiting for you to place your weekly orders.

It’s a long Monday but at least we can all hang out, pass the time, here, at the market.

I’ll be watching for you…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
