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!
And, To All, A Good Night...
Well, can you believe it? Another year almost gone, a new one almost ready to begin.
We would like to thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being a part of this market family!!
We saw this year bring us a bigger, stronger, more varied market, and in turn, you gave us a bigger, stronger love!!
Thank you to all customers, vendors, staff of the YMCA…you make this market what it is!! And, there is more to come…just wait for 2019!!
So, I am slipping away, for a much needed break from baking, event making, and all things that I do.
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a very magical entrance into the New Year. What will this new year bring to all of us? Only time will tell…
We will see you, when I reopen the market, on January 3rd, for your ordering pleasure. We will see you, at the first market pick up, of 2019, on January 10th!
And, now…your very tired market manager would like to bid you all a good night, and sweet dreams into the holiday magic…
See you soon…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Keeper of the new year’s dreams…
