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!
All I Ever Wanted!
Vacation, all I ever wanted
Vacation, had to get away
Vacation, meant to be spent alone..
(The Go-Go’s – Vacation)
So, the market is NOT going on vacay but your favorite hippie locally grown manager IS hitting the open road!!
Saturday, once I finish down at the lovely Springfield market, bid farewell to the Bread Heads, and jump in my car, I am headed off for a few days of just me time!! I am so excited to have hours on the road, blaring tunes, nothing on my mind, no baking schedule, a total block of time for a total rejuvenation!
So, I open the market, tonight, with great pleasure!! I know you will rock it while I am gone!! I will be monitoring, from behind the scenes, in case of any questions or problems, but other than that, I am on hiatus!!
A few things to keep in mind….this will be the market leading into the kick off of the Champaign County Fair. Think about how great it would feel if you did all of your ordering and didn’t even have to hit the grocery! Think about what healthy items you may want for fair week!!
Let us put it all together for you….all you have to do is order!!
Have a great start to the weekend, enjoy whatever it is that you will be doing, and think of your lovely manager…off on an adventure!!
See you when I get back…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
