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!
Your Reminder
Good morning, lovelies…
Just a reminder that tonight is market night. It’s a crazy cool market.
The pick up times are…
A-K…4pm-5pm
L-Z…5pm-6pm
Both of your market managers will be bringing orders to your cars!
If you have prepaid, we thank you! If you would like to prepay, please call, this morning!
Paying by check? Please have it made out to Oakview Farm Meats!
Paying by cash? Exact amounts, inside a ziplock bag, would be ever so kind!
If you need to run into the retail shop, please park off from the pick up line, and the Hippie’s father will be making a guest appearance as shop helper, today.
Above all…please be patient, please be kind, pull up in a car line fashion, and know that we will have everyone taken care of in a timely manner…
And, thank you, thank you, thank you…our market is most humbled by your patronage, and our vendors are forever thankful.
See you, beginning at 4pm…
Much Love,
Pam
