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!
Tonight's Market Pick Up!
Welcome back to another Thursday evening of fun, friendship, food, and more…
Tonight is the first market pick up of the new year, and you all made it such a great market to kick it all off!! Thank you, always, for all the love you show us, each and every week!!
Tonight, there will be no assigned time slots, so anytime between 4pm-6pm!
If you made an alternate arrangement, your order will be ready when you requested!
If you are a Friday pick up, or need to be a Friday pick up, and I do not already have you on the books for Friday, please let me know! Friday pick ups are from 10am-12pm, with the shop closing now, on Fridays, at 12pm!
If you are part of our Yellow Springs clients/customers with Clem & Thyme, your orders will be delivered to their farm offices, Friday, after 1pm!
If you need a delivery, we are also happy to do that, but we need you to contact us, and there will be a small delivery fee added.
AND…The first winners of my ongoing market song trivia fun to celebrate our 10 year anniversary with the market, are….William and Teresa O’Hair! They will get their complimentary bread, today!!
The song was…Wasn’t Born To Follow. The questions were…who wrote the song, and what movie was the song featured in?
The song was performed by the Byrds, written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King, and featured in the movie, Easy Riders!
They were the winning two with the right answers!!
Watch for the next round of trivia!
OK, See you, tonight!!
XOXO,
