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!
Lettuce Make It Up To You!
And, my final weblog of the evening…
There were two weeks of a few lettuce snafus, and I spoke with Nik, today, of Old Souls Farm, and he is on it, ready to make it all right for everyone!!
So…if you were part of the arugula issue of two weeks ago, your replacements will be at the market, this week!! If you are ordering, just plan to also grab the arugula. If you don’t order, you can stop in, and Mark will have it for you!
If you were part of the arugula/Spring Mix downfall, last week, all replacements will be at the market, on Thursday!! Some drill…Mark will take care of you, if you order, or if you just groove in for your replacement!!
AND…finally…if you are ordering, just a regular order, with no problems, the past two weeks, your current lettuces/arugula will be waiting!!
We are working to get it all groovy with them/us/you!!
Thank you, so much, for your patience!!
And, thank you, Old Souls, for making it right!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
