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!
Happy Friday, and just a couple of happy notes coming from the Bath and Beauty section of the market...
First, we welcome back ELM TREEE ESSENTIALS with their soaps and oils!!! The best!!! I'm always stocked up on her oils....
Second...if you have not yet tried products from Rooted Wellness...she puts out some outstanding products!! I love her restorative hand salve and her restorative face oil....just amazing!!
XOXO,

I hope that you have enjoyed the week, though it's been so darn wet and scary with the weather, and if you took in the attractions of the fair, I hope you enjoyed. Also sending good vibes to the fairgrounds as they were hit so hard with weather damage, this week.
Since it's another dreary day, I thought it might add some sunshine to your soul by going ahead and reopening the market for ordering, this morning, instead of waiting until this evening!
Welcome back, both customers and vendors, and let's get the market happening with weekly orders....
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
If you placed an order, this week, today is your pick up beginning at 3pm-5:30pm!!
You can also pick up your order, tomorrow, from 10am-noon, but there will be no Saturday pick up, this week, because the retail shop will be closed all week for the Champaign County Fair!
See you, this afternoon!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Good morning, Sunshine People!
Just a reminder that the market will close in one hour, at 8am, for the week, and also for next week's vacation due to the Champaign County Fair!!
Don't miss out on the seasonal produce, garlic, flowers, the usual weekly loveliness, and the return of me, Cosmic Charlie!!
You still have time...
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Don't forget that today is Monday, and I know the week is about to get crazy if you are preparing for the opening of the Champaign County Fair on Friday!
You still have until tomorrow morning, at 8am, to get your weekly market orders in before we take a vacation, next week, to give everyone a chance to get out and support this lovely local event...the fair!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
The market is now open, again, for weekly orders!!
And, just a quick FYI.... This week will be the week before the beginning of the Champaign County Fair! That means that after Thursday's pick up on August 6th, the market will be on it's annual August shut down for the week of the fair!! Don't forget to order all of the local loveliness before we take our August vacation for fair week!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Cheers to the new week, and cheers to market orders!! Do you have your orders in for the week?
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
