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!
Do You Believe In Magic?
And it’s magic, if the music is groovy…
(Lovin’ Spoonful)
What better song to kick off a magical, sunshine day? To kick off a Sunday of ordering from our magically, lovely, little market of love?
You are all making this week’s ordering so groovy, so far! You bring the magic to this market, each and every week!!
Make sure to check out all of the new offerings from Hickory Acres, CrisMis Farms, and the girls at Flourish are working on a second size of bouquet, along with fun details, each week, about their planned theme for their beautiful bouquets, that I will post in a weblog!
Kim from Kim’s Homestead told me that her flowers are growing for her hand held bouquets, and will be adding those to the market in the next few weeks!
We hope to see beef returning, soon, from our meat producers!
Each week, there are more and more items from our lovely vendors…the other magic in this market!
I am adding a new Cosmic product…a small coffee cake, called…Breakfast With The Hippie Coffee Cake!
Ok…go put your own magic into this amazing day!!
If you believe in magic, come along with me….(lyric from, The Lovin’ Spoonful)
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
