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!
BRRRRRR!!!!

S&S Naturals-New Product Line!
S & S Naturals has been making new products from local finished beef
tallow that we rendered 3 times.
Yes, beef tallow!! This timeless ingredient is
making a resurgence & for good reason.
Its composition closely mimics the natural oils found in human skin, making
it an excellent choice for maintaining skin health & hydration. Unlike commercial
skincare products that can be laden with synthetic ingredients & chemicals, beef
tallow offers a nourishing alternative, rich in vitamins A,D,E & K, has
anti-inflammatory properties, & promotes collagen production to help counteract
the natural aging process. With regular use, tallow can restore skin elasticity &
reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles.
Whipped Tallow Overnight Face Balm contains-
Beef Tallow
Extra Virgin Olive oil infused with wild Rose Hips
moisturizes, reduces inflammation, high in vitamin C & smooths fine lines
Argan & Jojoba oils
rich in Vitamin E, anti-inflammatory, reduces dryness
Frankincense essential oil
anti-aging effects, lifts, tightens
Grapefruit essential oil for a light citrus fragrance
Whipped Beef Tallow Hand & Body balm has only 3 ingredients-
Tallow, Extra virgin Olive Oil & Vanilla essential oil for a sweet light fragrance,
moisturizes & nourishes the skin
Winter Part 2
And it sure been a cold, cold winter
And the wind ain’t been blowin’ from the south…
It’s sure been a cold, cold winter…
(Winter-Rolling Stones)
Maybe it isn’t even Part 2, maybe it’s just been going on with this crazy cold, ice and snow for one big run on string of months…
Anyway, if you are looking out your windows, and seeing this down pour of snow showers, and you are ready for some local kind of goodness, you can grab something warm to drink, make out your local market list, and spend time cozying up to our market site.
The market can make the coldest of days feel like the sun is so bright, it will put a smile on your face…
What better way to spend a snowy Sunday…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
