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!
Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
It’s not warm when she’s away
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And she’s always gone too long
Anytime she’s goes away…
(Bill Withers)
I’ve been looking out the windows, sipping coffee, and humming this song, all morning.
We lost the sunshine, we lost the warmth, and we gained a whole lot of rain, wind, and cold. What a short lived summer we had…lol.
Anyway, welcome to another week of ordering. I know it’s a busy weekend with the holiday, but we are here for you, bringing you the best of the best.
A reminder that Harrigan’s Harvest said that this will be the last week for ordering asparagus!!
And, Kingdom Fish has carrots, kale, and swiss chard available on the market!! They will have microgreens, again, in a couple of weeks!!
So much to enjoy from our vendors…
I guess that this weekend, we are all making our own kind of sunshine…much love to you all…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
