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!

Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind
On the road to Shambala…
(Three Dog Night)
Hoping that you find out market, just this way…helpful, kind, and well, musically fun…
I am off, this week, and heading to the airport, today, to pick up my lovely daughter, and spend a few days before she goes to Columbus for all things engagement pictures, asking her attendants to be in the wedding, and finally getting to celebrate with all of them, since she got engaged, the week before the pandemic hit.
I will miss you all, terribly, and I will miss baking for you! But, you will be able to order, again, when the market reopens on Thursday eve!
I’m going to help get everything set up in the greenhouse, and then turn things over to your other market manager, my dad, and our other helper who usually helps to get your plants all rounded up!
Please be patient, and kind, as you always are. My dad will be bringing your boxes to your cars. I will give you the breakdown of your time slots, and PLEASE REMEMBER…you will need to come up 68, to Powell Ave, and make a right on 54 to the farm!!!
The market will be closing, this evening, at 8pm…
Ok….I love you all to the moon and back!!
How does your light shine, in the halls of Shambala…
Turn this song up…you are guaranteed a good mood!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
