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!
If You Get Confused, Listen To The Music Play!
Wildflower seed in the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again…(Franklin’s Tower, Grateful Dead)
Today was the Tuesday that felt like a Monday that seemed like it was just Friday. Confusion!
My big weekend away quickly melted into the day that found me needing to get what seemed like a million things started, executed, accomplished, and planned. Nothing like coming out of a weekend of sheer bliss to the confusion of a frantic weekday.
I am sure you all had the same confusing day by mixing it all up into a Monday kind of Tuesday. So, I am here to act as your four winds that will blow you home. This is the ending day of the market. It will close at 8pm. We don’t want to have customers still thinking it’s Monday, and then go and miss ordering…
Let me be your music that lessens the confusion. Believe me, your week will get a whole lot more confusing if you have no order, nothing to pick up, and then you have to worry about doing the dance to get it all done, elsewhere, without the ease, the goodness, the local love.
And…if you order, you get your name entered into the drawing as the customer who wins the first ever Local Love Playlist!!!
And..as Cosmic Charlie, I am offering another Coupon Of Love to my customers!!
So, listen to the music, and let the four winds blow you safely home, to us, your local market…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
