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!
You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
Morning came and morning went
Pick up your money and pack up your tent
You ain’t going nowhere…
(Written/performed by Bob Dylan)
(My favorite version is performed by The Byrds on their, Sweetheart Of The Rodeo album)
Looking for a bit of feel good twirly music…here you go!
Just like this market always makes me feel, I always feel like dancing around, when I hear this song.
So, we’ve got a holiday weekend happening, and if you find yourself with a bit of time, why not get your market orders in? Put on some tunes, look through the offerings, and get all groovy for the week upon us!
Your market manager has another day of work, ahead, and then I am slipping into two days of nothing until I start baking, again, next week.
Go ahead, start your Saturday with a feel good song, keep that song in your heart, and sing it out…
Much love to you all…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
