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!
Today's Market
Customers and vendors!!
Such an icy wake up call, this morning!!
I wrestled, all morning, with the market pick up, for this evening, and just got off the phone with Paul, at the Y.
The market will remain, on schedule, this evening. If, as a customer, you feel that the conditions are not what you want to be out in, this evening, that is totally fine! If we do not see you by 6pm, your orders will be grouped together, and you can pick them up tomorrow, or Saturday.
I don’t want anyone at risk, but decided to try to keep the pick up as normal as possible.
Vendors…if you are having issues with getting product to the market…please call or text me!! I will evaluate what is missing, and I will work with the customer, for a tomorrow pick up time, if needed!!
So sorry…but I want things normal, safe, and flexible, if need be!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
