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!
Heartfelt Thanks and Love!
I open the market, tonight, feeling so thankful to my managers, Charlene and Mark, to all of you very understanding customers, and to the amazing help from the YMCA.
This morning found me totally knocked out with whatever is going around. I was sick, last week, thought I had gotten better, but not so much.
Mark and Charlene took the market, and my Cosmic customers were beyond understanding! I love that we can all rely on one another at our little local market. It took a bit of the stress out of being sick.
I am opening the market and drifting off to sleep. Stay warm, stay safe, and stay well…you can accomplish all of this with the ease of ordering from the market!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
