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!
Sing A Song
Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song…
(The Carpenters)
Little known fact about me…when I was a child of the 70s, I loved cheesy variety shows on tv, and bubblegum pop on the radio…this song was always a favorite of mine to stand in front of my mirror, my jump rope microphone in hand, and sing at the top of my lungs…
Anyway…that little trip down my youthful days path, was just to remind you that it is market order pick up day, I can hardly wait for the songs you throw at me, today, and again, no time slots…just come out between 4pm-6pm, unless life gets in the way, and you need a Friday morning pick up!
We had another great market with great sales, and welcomed another three new customers to the family!!
Remember…if I have your card on file, no need to worry about payment, you are covered. If you are new, you can pay three ways…call me, ahead, with a debit/credit card number, pay by check with it made out to Oakview Farm Meats, OR, pay in cash, in a ziplock bag or envelope, with your name on it!
It’s that simple…you don’t even need to get out of your cars…see you at 4pm, and remember…
Sing that song…it’s what the world needs…
XOXO,
