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!

That's How Strong My Love Is...


If I was the sun way up there
I’d go with love most everywhere…
(Otis Redding)

So, I am back, and I have received so many lovely welcome back emails, as well as so many lovely email send offs, when I departed.

The market seemed to run, smoothly, with a huge shout out going to your market co-manager, Mark, and Carla, of JC Growers! And, all of you, who make each week a pure joy!!

I wanted to point out that it looks like we have fresh produce trickling in, microgreens are strong, and some plant starts are appearing.

It’s all beginning to happen, once again, in this season of growth.

I’m excited to be back in action, and look forward to your orders, and seeing you at Thursday’s pick up!!

That’s how strong my love is…for all of you…you make this market all that it is!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
