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!
Groovy Tuesday!
Hello, lovely local market customers!
My day started extra early, today, with a very long 8am meeting, followed by bread deliveries, and then finally, my shop!
All I have for you, at this point, is to get your groove on, get your orders in, and make it a happenin’ Groovy Tuesday!
Think about your needs, think about all of the fall dishes you are wanting to prepare. Think of the herbs, spices, late season produce, cuts of meat, eggs, dairy, breads, assorted fish…jams and mustards to accompany all of this, along with a type of maple syrup, honey, or sorghum!
Don’t forget the teas, coffees, granola, baked goods, and flour, for morning or all day needs.
Let us help make you groovy!
But, to be groovy, you need to order!
Make me happy!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
