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!

Out In The Cold


I’m out in the cold
Body and soul
There’s nowhere to go
I’m out in the cold…
(Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)

Turn up the music, market customers, and warm up the place, because we really had a winter storm dumped into our laps, and from the looks of it, it’s going to keep on keepin’ on!

Not to fear…you can still order, in the loveliness and warmth of your home, and guess what?? We can deliver all the market goods, to your door, you don’t even have to bundle up to make the drive to the farm, this week!! Think about that when you are trying to decide on placing your orders.

We are here, the market boosts so much goodness, and to make it easy in these snowy times, we will deliver it all!

Happy Sunday eve…and, like you, I am settled in, after having a movie watching/house organizing/plant loving/laundry catch up kind of day, and now I am enjoying a glass of wine, with dinner in the oven, roasting away. AND, while I have a bit of downtime, I am sipping a glass of wine, listening to tunes, and placing my own market order!

Let’s see some of that market love come pouring in, and remember…we KNOW the cold that this week presents, and we are HAPPY to deliver the market, right to your door…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
