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!
Tuesday Notes
Good morning, lovelies…
Just a few notes on this rain soaked morning…
First, in case you missed it, Beth added more asparagus onto the market!
Second, the girls of Flourish have sent their week’s theme for the market bouquets….Sipping On Sunshine will consist of bright yellows, purples, and greens. A true spring bouquet with a mix of roses, snapdragons, allium, anemones, and foliage!
Third, if you are new to the market, you may pay ahead by phoning me, at 937-926-4833.
Fourth, I am urging all customers to either pay ahead, have a check made out to Oakview Farm Meats, or exact change in a ziplock bag, WITH YOUR NAME. If it is raining, please place your checks into a ziplock bag, as well. The lines move so very quickly, and it really jams things up when I need to make change, or write down a credit card number, to run, after the market!
Fifth, if you want to be a Friday pick up, please let me know! 10am-12pm, this week, as I am leaving town for the afternoon, and will not be around, after 12pm!
As always, I will be breaking the time slots down, for Thursday, tomorrow, once we close the market, tonight!
Thank you, so very, very much for being part of this lovely market family!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
