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!
Dedicated To The One I Love
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love…
(So many groups have covered this song, my favorite being the Mamas and the Papas, but tonight, I am playing the soundtrack from, Echo In The Canyon, which features Jacob Dylan, and friends, singing in the documentary…)
And, this is my love song, to you, this evening. From the customers, to the vendors…you have no idea how much love I have for all of you.
Each week, the sisterhood/brotherhood of this market, and the meshing of spirits and souls and market revelry warms my heart.
My gosh…the kindness, love, compassion, excitement…you all bring it, every week. For some reason, this week just really hit home. I hope that after your cars are loaded, and we’ve talked, laughed, exchanged more than just orders, that you also take the love vibes with you, on your journeys.
I open the market, tonight, for another week of ordering fun. We also welcome and new and awesome vendor, this week!! She will send me a write up, all about her, her products, and what she does, but she brings us her body scrubs, and I am so excited!
Tonight, this weblog is dedicated to ones I love…all of you…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
