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!
Rock On
Rock on, ooh my soul
Hey, kids, you boogey, too, did ya?
Hey shout, summertime blues
Jump up and down in my blue suede shoes
Hey, did you rock and roll, rock on
And where do we go from here?
(Rock On-David Essex)
Good morning, and welcome to your 70’s flashback of song tunes, this morning…
But, really, I am totally shouting, and rockin’ on over last night’s market closing!
You rocked, you rolled, and we closed out the week not only shattering our highest record of two weeks ago, but also making it look like child’s play!
My love for you is strong, my gratitude, immense, and from myself, your co-market manager, and our vendors…we thank you, so very much!!
I am getting ready to send a separate email with tomorrow’s time slots!
If you would like to be a Friday pick up, please let me know, if you did not already specify!
Also…if you are paying by card, and I do not already have your information, you can call me, today, with that!! It does help us, so much, not to have to take time to run a card through the pick up line, but also understand if you are not comfortable with that! Just expect a bit of wait, while running the cards!
Checks made out to Oakview Farm Meats, are perfect! Cash, in ziplock bags with your names…excellent!! Again, if we need to stop and make change…time slog…but, again, we understand!
The market will only continue to grow with product, and we look forward to bring it all to you, each and every week…
Rock On, babes…you are the best!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
