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!

Colors Of The Holiday!
Sorry for the second post, but while I was placing my market order, I put in my order for Champaign Berry blackberries, and noticed that Red Raspberries are also listed!! The red and the blue (sort of) in the red, white, and blue (real dark blue)
Anyway, all this to say that berry season will be fading, so why not stock up?
Now, go, enjoy, I will stop pestering you…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Happy Holiday Weekend!
Just checking in, making sure all of you are enjoying the extended weekend, and hoping that you don’t forget that the market is here, open, and ready to take those orders because I know, like always, it gets a bit lost in the shuffle, when there is a Monday holiday!
I just don’t want you to be sad, that you missed out on all of the late season goodness!
Stock up, now!!! You can freeze so much of the seasonal produce, and sweet corn, so you can still have that summer feeling, all winter long…
I’m just sitting here, with coffee, making my own market orders….what about you?
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
A September To Remember
Here we are, ready to jump into September, ready or not, so let’s make this month one for the books, and get so many orders in!!
Also, Champaign Berry is listing their sweet corn, and produce, on the market! And, like our other vendors with seasonal produce, the season won’t last, forever!
Take advantage!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Tuesday Wake Up!
It’s that time!!!
Time to take this next hour to get your orders in for the week!!!
I’m doing the same…after a crazy busy weekend, I am jumping in on that Last Train To Clarksville, to get my weekly market goodness!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Hello!
Here we are, again!!
Opening the market, again, for the week!!!
XOXO,

Market Pick Up with Champaign Berry!
If you ordered from the market, this week, it’s your pick up time, this evening!
And, even if you did not order, or are not a market customer, you can still come out, 4pm-6pm, and grab all the late season goodness from Champaign Berry Farm!
They will have sweet corn, squash, tomatoes, and potted sunflowers!!!!
Come out, and get your happiness!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
