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!
Seven Day Weekend
Monday`s calling you too early when you`re sound asleep
Bells are ringing by your bedside and out in the street
Usually Monday`s long enough, but this is just the start
Tuesday`s just the same as Monday without the surprising part…
(Seven Day Weekend-Elvis Costello/Jimmy Cliff)
Yes, my market friends…it’s that magical day of the week! The one we dread, the one we work through, and at the end, are happy to be moving on!
As for yours truly, I am heading out the door at this early hour, to make a meeting! What is calling you on this Monday?
How about letting our market be your Monday calling…get your thoughts and lists, together, to get those orders in! I promise…once your market shopping is done, you can go ahead and either ease into this Monday, or blast into it!
Throw us some Monday love! We will love you back!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
