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!
Beautiful Day!
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
It’s a beautiful day…(U2-Beautiful Day)
I wake up before the sun is up. I begin my baking in the very early hours of most mornings. The Cosmic soul kitchen is all windows, and my most favorite times of the day are watching as the light comes pouring in the windows and door flooding the whole kitchen with beautiful colors of sunshine and light. My other favorite time is when the sun is setting. It’s a lovely view with different splashes of color that spill into the Cosmic kitchen.
This morning was one of those mornings. I was busy with bread dough, downing coffee, listening to the tunes that keep me motivated, and watching as the golden light lit up my kitchen. It just makes you feel so alive, so happy, and like everything is golden and everything is beautiful!! It sets the tone for the whole day.
It’s Monday at our little market, the morning is rain free, the sun was smiling for a moment, and it’s just an overall beautiful moment. Take this time to think about the start of your week, what you will need to get you through, and place your market orders! Your life becomes so beautifully peaceful when you shop with us and then turn the work over to us. All you need to do is show up at market pick up, we hand you the Locally Grown market goodness, and you are on your way to more beautiful days without the stress of trying to shop in crowded places, the stress of doing all of the work, and the lack of local love…
And, where else do you get entered into a Market Love drawing for the Market Love summer playlist??
We are here, it’s a beautiful day, and we want to make it a beautiful week for you! Get your orders in!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
