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!
It's Market Day!!
Good morning, lovely market customers!!
This is just my reminder that today is market pick up day, and you once again blew it all up with such enormous love!!
You may pick up your orders, between 4pm-6pm! If you are a Friday pick up/delivery, I’ve got you on the books! If you need a Friday pick up, please let me know, and you can pick up between 10am-12pm!
If you are new, this week, and there are several of you, you have the option of phoning me, ahead of time, with payment information that I will keep on file for future orders!
If you do not want to pay by card, you can bring a check made out to Oakview Farm Meats, or cash, in a ziplock bag, with your name! Please have exact change because it takes time if I have to leave the line, to make change, and it also takes time if you are handing me your card, in line…thank you, so very much!
Thank you, everyone, who started flooding my email with the answers to this week’s Cosmic Trivia!! We did have a winner!!
Long time market customer, Michelle Poston-Peters!! She and her adorable daughter have been supporters of the market since we opened the doors/internet to the market, 10 years ago!!
The answer to the trivia question was….Madison’s Downtown Cafe, and the second answer was the owner, then, Summer Woodburn, also heads up her own little group of vendors, here on the market, 4 Hens and a Rooster!
Ok…get ready for more exciting trivia, and a chance to win your very own Cosmic product!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
