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!
IMPORTANT UPDATE
I am so sorry, my lovelies…I was too fast, and too hopeful in my last Weblog.
Paul from the YMCA just called me to inform me that the governor has now shut down all rec centers, childcare, day care…so, the YMCA will now be on mandatory shut down.
Which means the market will be following the same protocol…I am so very sorry. We had a meeting of the minds via his phone call, and we just cannot run the market, take payments, or pay vendors, without the YMCA systems!!
So, until further notice, and with such a very heavy heart, we will be suspending the market, and all orders placed, will now be cancelled.
I will be updating, via this weblog, what vendors you can contact to place orders for a direct delivery/pick up with them.
I’m your girl, and I want to keep you informed…
I love you, and this market, more than words can say…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
