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 Can't Always Get What You Want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need…
(The Rolling Stones)
Happy Thursday evening, on this first day of October!!
I am finally settling in for the night, adding my seasonal soups to the market, having a glass of wine, listening to a very rousing version of this Stones song that I have chosen for tonight’s blog.
If you want a down and bluesy version of this song, turn on to, the Tedeschi Trucks Band version…just what I needed to blow out of this week.
It’s been a week, lovelies. One of those weeks where right when you thought you had it all on track, just one more thing would shoot at you. It’s been a test, this week…lol.
Anyway, the song, the verse…I hope that you always feel this market has what you want, and what you need.
I loved seeing you all, this evening, at market pick up. I love all of your conversations, the music I pick up on, playing in your cars, and making sure you are happy, as you go back out into the world.
I am opening the market, again, this evening, with nothing but love for all of you.
My own products are out of vacation mode, and I look forward to your market orders!
The market is bursting with all the goodness of the season…take advantage…
You just might find
You get what you need…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
