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!
Thank You!
Just a note of thanks to all who ordered, again, this week, and making it another super market week!!
I have added a Holiday Section for vendors who will be offering gift sets, and such, as special holiday items!
We will also be adding Market Gift Certificates to the Holiday Section making it even easier to give the gift of local!
I had hoped to have a holiday open house for the market, this year, but that will not be happening, due to the ongoing Covid situation. I also encourage you to holiday shop in our Artisans Gallery for unique gifts.
One last thing…if you shopped from the market, last week, I am running the payments, today. We are implementing a new POS system but it’s taking longer to complete inputting of customer names! So, do not be alarmed, the payments do not reflect this week’s market!
As always, I love you all more than words can say!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
