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!
Walking On Sunshine!
This day!!! It’s a total sunshine daydream!!!
And…as your orders are rolling in, I want to remind you that the market closes, tomorrow morning, at 6am!!
If you want to catch the asparagus wave, get on it, now!
AND, if you plan to order from Cosmic Charlie, or Hippie and the Farmer, do so, this market, because we are putting products on vacation mode, for next week’s market!
The Hippie is travelling off to her annual music festival, and your other market manager, is headed off for a golfing weekend, at Muirfield!
That means neither of us will be around for our products, but the market will still be in full swing!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
