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!
Beautiful Day!
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away…
(U2-Beautiful Day)
This song, to me, just screams inspiration on the first day of this new year…Hello, 2021, and welcome, all of you, back to the market. Also, hello to all of our new customers. Welcome to the family. And, hey…those of you still on the sidelines…what’s stopping you? Go ahead, start your new year with ordering from this crazy popular, all local, all lovely little market. We promise you will be hooked…
So, all Cosmic Charlie and Hippie and the Farmer products are now live on the market! A whole new January menu for Hippie and the Farmer frozen dinners and pizzas! Also, new soups added to the Cosmic culinary bag of tricks! And, a few new bakery items from Cosmic Charlie!
Champaign Berry has added their black raspberry sauce back to the market!
If you have already placed your orders, but want to go back and add any from Cosmic Charlie or Hippie and the Farmer, feel free to do so! Multiple orders get combined into one!!
It’s great to be back…and, in our 10 Year Anniversary Year!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
