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!
Coat Of Many Colors
My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me…
A shout out to all of our mamas out there, doing what you do, and doing it all with love…
Our market is open, there are new products, added, and we hope that the weekend celebrates you, in the manner in which a hard working mama needs to be celebrated!
And, remember…a mom can be a mom in many forms, to many children/friends/fur babies/strangers…
We hope that you will take a bit of time from your busy weekend, to get your orders in…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
