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!
Love Is All Around
Well, love is all around me
And so the feeling grows…
(The Troggs)
Peace and Love, Peace and Love…
A perfect song to kick off this week, a nice thought to spread love wherever you go, and it also helps to kick off the theme of growth, of planting seeds of love, and what better way to plant those seeds, than with the seed packets that Flourish has to offer? It’s the perfect time to start your seeds…and, just like the ten years of this market, if you tend to the seeds, just right, they will bring you amazing peace, love, and growth.
I have more to come with the growth theme, and some words from the girls of Flourish, and their seeds, as well as updates on when to expect their fresh flowers!
And…along with the Peace and Love theme, our market trivia winner, this week, with the winning answer to yesterday’s question is….Audra Bean!! She’s a long time supporter of our market, and now she wins a Cosmic product!!
The question was what lyric have I always incorporated into my Cosmic Charlie taglines, from the Jefferson Airplane song, White Rabbit…
The answer is…
Peace, Love, Bread…FEED YOUR HEAD!!
Yay!!
Peace and Love…and, a reminder that orders are due by 8am, tomorrow morning!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
