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 Last Note...
My last love note of the ordering week to remind you that the market will close, this evening, at 10pm., and you do not want to miss all of the fun!
We have shattered even last week’s amazing sales records, and then you came back, even stronger, this week, to show us even more love.
Thursday is going to be a sunshine day, it will be a nice little drive out to the country to pick up your boxed orders, you do not need to leave your car, and you get our smiling faces, bringing you all of the local goodness!
We have so much to offer you, and now it’s time to get those last orders in!
All of our new customers have returned from last week, our weekly customers are going strong, AND…we are saying HELLO to returning customers who have been absent for a few years…
This market, the customers, the vendors…it all equals the love…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
