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!
Over The Hills and Far Away
Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings
I live for my dream, and a pocket full of gold…
(Led Zeppelin)
Good morning, lovely market customers…
This song has one of my favorite lyrics in it, and, it was playing in my car, the other day, and I just had to turn it up, and let myself drift back to summers of the late 70s, this song blaring, and nothing to do but cruise around with friends, get into innocent fun, and a bit of fun trouble, and just feel the freedom…
Anyway, I wanted to thank you for making another week of awesome orders, and I look forward to seeing all of you, tomorrow, between 4pm-6pm!
Champaign Berry will be there selling their sweet corn and sunflowers! Bring cash or card, and take advantage of our own local pot of gold…the gold of sweet corn and sunflowers!
No time slots, tomorrow!! Let the fun begin!
If you need a Friday pick up, please alert me! If your credit cards/debit cards have expired, give me your updated info! If you are a new customer, you can call me with payment information, OR you can pay by checks made out to Oakview Farm Meats, or exact cash/change in a ziplock bag with your name!!
See all of your groovy faces, tomorrow…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
