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!
Meet Me At The Jubilee...
Shake it, shake it, Sugaree…(Grateful Dead-Sugaree)
Well, meet me at the market instead of the Jubilee but it’s still always a great evening at market pick up!!
A few things before this evening!
The Cosmic Coupon of Love winners are…Janet Corbin and Marcia Cope!!
The Market Love Playlist winners are…Tracy Bleim and Elaine Halterman!!
We look forward to seeing each of you, this evening, who placed an order!! When you arrive, you be able to be the first market group of customers to see our shiny, new, professional shelving, cabinets, and counter!! Make sure to give your market volunteer/market assistant, Mark Runyan, a HUGE thank you for seeking out the equipment, getting the price quotes, presenting the quotes to the YMCA and for then taking the last couple of evenings to assemble all of the shelving!!
Have a great day!!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
