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!
Rivers and Roads
Been talking ’bout the way things change…
(Rivers and Roads-The Head and the Heart)
The song that I chose for this dreary Friday, while I wake up with coffee, and readying for another day of baking, is a song that is just so beautiful, and speaks so much about these times…just missing things, people, places…rivers and roads…
Anyway, thank you for all of your kind emails, last night. They warmed my soul.
And, the orders already pouring in are amazing! This market loves you! We are seeing the gift of life in the market with all of the live plant offerings, flowers, beauty…
Our vendors go above and beyond, and my outpouring of love, goes out to them, always.
Old Souls contacted me, early this morning, and will be reaching out to yesterday’s customers. Again…the love for them, is great.
I will see all of you who are picking up, today, at the greenhouse, between 10am-noon. Please, call me, 937-926-4833, when you arrive, and I will head to the greenhouse, to grab your order, and bring it out to you.
With news of now extending the stay at home, the delay of some businesses, reopening, and the general concern for health, happiness, and safety, we are so very, very, very glad to bring all of that, to you, each and every week.
Go, enjoy your day, turn on some music, and be kind to yourselves…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
