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!
Vacation Brain
Hello!!!
I have been so off the grid, off social media, and not even taking pictures because my brain is on vacation!
But, I totally forgot to take myself off of vacation mode, since I will be returning on Monday!
So….Cosmic Charlie is back on the market!
Kimmy Shark dog cookies are now called, Barkery Creations!
We now have a new vendor, Allison, with Seed and Sparrow!
Ok…be back to you, soon!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Greetings From Florida!
Hello, little market of love customers!
I’m in FLA, enjoying the sunshine vibes, so it’s short and sweet, tonight, but I need you to listen up!!
We will now need to close out the market on Tuesday evenings, at 8pm!
Old Soals needs extra time to process orders, so we are going to accommodate that! Also, in the coming weeks, they are adding basil, and spinach!!
What I now need from you….order, order early, and let’s make this work as a group effort!!
Thanks, so much, and you know I love you!
See you, soon!

Sun goes down on a silky day
Quarter moon walkin’ through the Milky Way…
Jennifer Warnes-Right Time Of The Night
Anyone now in a sappy 70s mood for music? Well, I was singing this, in my head, as I started writing my weblog, to tell you that it is the perfect time of the night, to get your orders in…
We are here for you, and ready to take your orders up until Wednesday at 8am!
Your market manager is leaving on vacay, tomorrow, and your co-manager will be so sad if he doesn’t see all of your happy faces, at market pick up!
Come on…show your local market, a big dose of love!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

The Last Minutes
Good morning, little local market of love customers!
That weather!! What a strange mixed bag of tricks!!
I know that it’s on everyone’s minds, trying to get to work, trying to hustle the kids around, but we have 15 minutes left of the market for the week…
Just in case we can help you out of this weather jam, this morning…
XOXO,

Here we are…a sunshine filled morning, and another day to get your orders in!
Our market offers so much, now, that you truly can do all of your healthy, nutritional shopping with us, before you need to hit the big box stores!!
And, why not spend your hard earned money on our good food, hand made items, locally grown, locally produced, products of love?? Small communities thrive on all of us shopping as local as possible. And, we work hard, here at this little local market, to bring you an array of products, year round, to not only help our market thrive, but to help the community thrive.
We take pride in all that we offer our customers…and we take pride in being the umbrella to the in season markets, in this little local community.
Basically, we are the Lovelight of the markets…shining bright, each week, all year, ready to take you into your week…
Sweet Tuesday Morning to you all…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
