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, She's Back...
…to the new normal…
Hello, lovely market customers! I just returned from my vacation! Happy to report that in my travels, there was nothing crazy, all good vibes, calmness, and a sense of keeping steady in the midst of making sense.
That is what I want for this market. To continue on our usual, lovely path, bringing you the best foods, products, and attitude during this new time. I know that none of us have the answers, and I am certainly not the girl to try to be the expert. I can only bring you a ray of sunshine, and this lovely market.
At this time, the YMCA is still operating, so we will plan to continue on our usual course of market pickup. IF you feel that you would rather not enter the YMCA, at pick up, we are giving you a choice, to simply call me…937-926-4833, once you arrive, at the YMCA front entrance, and we can bring your order to your car, where we can also collect payment, if you do not have a card on file with the YMCA.
Choices are good, and only you know which way you feel most comfortable with. So far, things will remain as usual.
I super appreciate the orders that have come in, thus far, and want you to continue to order up! Think about stocking your freezers, your pantries, your refrigerators, and your life…and, don’t forget to order that little things, like candles, to perk up your moods!
We are here for you…keeping the lovelight on…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
