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!
And, Then, The Winds...
My, oh my…what a windy, rainy, cold market!!
Thank you to all who came out to grab your orders! Thank you for the patience when lines got a little jammed up! Thank you for your chit chat, laughs, and just general friendship.
It’s not always a sunshine, daydream weather kind of market pick up, so I love that I can count on all of your loveliness, as the wind and rain knocks me all over the place!
I have poured a large glass of wine, and ready to call it a day, but first will open up the market to your ordering needs!!
Thank you for always supporting this market…we thank you, kindly…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
