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!
Hot Child In The City
Danger in the shape of somethin’ wild
Stranger dressed in black, she’s a hungry child
No one knows who she is or what her name is
I don’t know where she came from or what her game is
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Runnin’ wild and lookin’ pretty
Hot child in the city
(Nick Gilder)
Well, Market lovelies..today’s market pick up was scorching hot!!
But this song…a perfect summer song, released in the summer before my freshman year in high school, blaring on all of our transistor radios, as we walked around, kicking it, as children of the 70s.
The temperatures are hot, the market popularity is hot, and our love for you, the customers, is the hottest of all!
Ok! The market reopens for the week!
If you are picking up, tomorrow, we will see you between 10am-12pm! It may be a little crazy, as we prepare for opening night of Pizza Farm Friday, but one of us will run your order out to you!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
