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!
Pleasant Valley Sunday
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday…
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday…
(Monkees – Pleasant Valley Sunday)
So, it was the MOST amazing, golden Sunday, today. It was one of those days where I greeted it with large cups of coffee, no real plan on the horizon, and nothing much on my schedule!
I headed to town and before I left my driveway, I got a phone call from a friend, plans were made, and we spent the morning and afternoon doing the whole local vibe.
We had coffee at The Depot, we headed to Oktoberfest, we bought little trinkets of local jewelry, we enjoyed the sights and sounds, we returned to The Depot for lunch! Because lunch at The Depot means sandwiches on Cosmic breads. We went on a little shopping trip for super cool boots, and then we had long conversations that took on the meandering that only two good friends understand. Her life, my life, the next step for my business, her business…just a really golden day. A very pleasant valley Sunday!
I love when a weekend of local activities keep the town busy, keep everyone in the local spirit, and when they make me so proud, once again, to be alive in this vibrant community that supports local so well!
This little local market of love is one of the best local vibes, around! It is Sunday evening, a pefect fall evening with a bit of chill to the air. Get all cozy, think about your week, think about your local food needs, and place your orders!!
By making it a pleasant kind of Sunday, you are setting yourself up to have a pleasant kind of week, all week!
We are here for you!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
