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!
A Day In The Life
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late…
(A Day In The Life-The Beatles)
This lyric is pretty much summing up my day. From dusk to dawn, I felt like I was trying to keep tempo, keep my time, but with turn, I ran into a friend, or I took a phone call, or I got caught up in one thing or another, all the while baking for the market, planning for the market, and suddenly, after an amazing market, here I am, fresh off of a phone call with a dear, dear friend, more off duty market work, and here we are…I looked up, and noticed I was late to open…
So, my lovely customers, I bring you the market to start your week…I look forward to seeing your orders, and bringing you the love, once again…
A day in the life…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
