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!
Here Comes The Sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right…
(The Beatles)
Well, lovely market customers, we had a beautiful sunshine day, yesterday, and we are in for another, today…when the sun is shining, my soul is lifted, your souls are lifted, and it seems that for a moment in time, it’s all really all right…
And, well, it all will be all right, we know that. We know that it may take a bit of time, but little by little the sun will shine, we will all be released into the wilds, and allowed to roam, talk, congregate, and resume real life.
But, until then, let us be your sunshine. Let us be your light in the little local community. Let us bring you all that our market has to offer. And, remembering that Easter is coming up, next weekend, and while I know everyone will need to celebrate in a more secluded way, why not order special indulgences, from us, along with your weekly needed items. Make the Easter weekend as special as you can…
Sending all the love and sunshine, today, and a huge thank you, as it’s only Saturday, and the market is poised to break another record…
Many love vibes,
Cosmic Pam
