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!
The Weekly Countdown!
Yes, my lovely little market of love customers…it is that time of the week, yet again!
Tuesday evening…the magical evening when we begin the winding down of the market. The orders begin their last minute flood into the market site.
Please remember that it is Easter weekend, a holiday weekend, a great weekend to boast all things local!!
It is also the last day of March…we are on the brink of April!! Or, as I like to refer to it as the greatest month of all year!! The month where the sun opened up and smiled and gave everyone the hippie market manager!! Yes…April is this hippie girl’s birthday month!!
So, in honor of the upcoming Easter holiday, and in helping me usher in the greatest month of the year, let’s get those orders in!!!
We can make it all so easy, all so stress free, all so nutrition filled, all so affordable, and the best….all so LOCAL!!!
Show us some love…I will be watching the orders in the next few hours!! Make me smile!!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
