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!
I Bid You Goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight…
(I Bid You Goodnight-Grateful Dead)
For all the Dead Heads, from way back in time, when The Grateful Dead used this song to close so many of their shows. Sung, in beautiful sweet clarity, no instruments, everyone departing the shows in one big love fest…good times!
And so, tonight is Tuesday…once again we find that we also will need to bid you goodnight, one more time, for the week. Let’s have an order love fest. You have until 10pm…make it count, think about your needs, think about making you life all about the ease and the love of local. Think about us greeting you with your weekly order, already packed, and all with a smile, a laugh, and a fun chat..
Let’s have it…show us some love…we are close to bidding you a farewell, for this week…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
