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!

Come Saturday Morning


We’ll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles…
(The Sandpipers)

It’s Saturday, it’s sunshine, and it’s going to be a lovely day!

While you are soaking up the sun, and all the good vibes, don’t forget to get those orders in so that on Thursday, you don’t have sad Thursday faces.

I loved taking a bit of time off, last week, but I love being back to the market, watching your orders flow in, and ready to bake the love into your week.

The market has so much to offer, and each week, we love seeing your smiling faces.

Yesterday, I gave an interview to Growing Ohio Magazine, a division of Farm Flavor, based out of Tennessee, and it is always so fun to gush about this lovely market, the customers, and our growth. Since March, all of you have been part of such an evolution of this market, watching and participating in it’s staggering growth. For that, I am always, truly grateful.

I have nothing but love, for each of you, and I hope you have a sunshine, love filled Saturday…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
