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!

Sunshine Of Your Love


I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
There, in the sunshine of your love…
(Cream-Sunshine Of Your Love)

And, here we are, basking in the sunshine of your love, for us, for our market!!

And, the sun will be shining just a bit brighter on the market, today, as it’s Tuesday, your orders will groove us, all day, into the evening, until 10pm, tonight, when we will then close for the week!!

Then, the real sunshine grooviness will begin, when the market reopens on Thursday.

First…we will be welcoming back, seasonal favorites, End Of The Road Farms!!! Yes, your favorite little family of naturally certified farming will be back at the market!! Since they left us, their family grew by one more babe, right at that time. They took on the Miami County virtual market, and now are heading back to us, as well!!

Also…Thursday, you will find the market in the hands of your co-manager, Mark!! Your Cosmic market manager is leaving early on Thursday morning to go off on a mountain adventure with a gang of sorority sisters, on our annual, every two year, sojourn. And, then, that means that I will also be appointing Mark the duties of opening up the market, that night, just in case I am totally out of touch in the mountains!! And, to make it all groovy, I will appoint Paul the task of picking the song for that market!!

The two market guys running the show while I go off to play…let’s make sure to show them, and the market, a whole lot of sunshine love, by placing a whole lot of sunshine orders!!

Ok, but until then, we have today, all day, to make this market the sunshine of your love…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
