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!
Tuesday Note!
Good morning, lovely customers!!
First…I am happy to report that wedding weekend is now over, my daughter had the mystical, magical wedding of her dreams, it was a weekend filled with love, happiness, beauty, and rejoicing!
So, after a long summer of wedding catering, throwing the bridal shower of all bridal showers for my daughter, and then the wedding, other than our last Pizza Farm Friday, on October 8, I am winding down for a bit!!
It’s been a crazy month, and today I head into the office to do a whole lot of reports updating for the market.
I am letting you know that if you have been an ordering customer, the past two weeks, I will be running both of those weeks payments, today!! Just didn’t want to alarm anyone!!
Second…I am headed to Oregon, Thursday morning, with my brother, so that we can say a final farewell to our dear sweet uncle, who is in his final days, really, after losing his battle with cancer. He’s my hippie uncle, who will always be that rebel inspiration to me. I will be adding my Cosmic products, and Hippie and the Farmer products back to the market, as I will return Monday night, but your other market manager will be all alone, handing out orders on Thursday, so be patient….
And, my heartfelt thank you for always showing this market so much love!! And, for allowing me the time off so that my daughter could have all of my attention, these last couple of months.
Ok…the fall season is here, and the market is heading straight into it…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
