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!
Welcome To The Week!
Market customers…it was a COLD one, this evening, and a windy one!!
It was lovely to see all of your smiling faces, and thank you for the warm welcome backs!! Though, I have to admit…a large part of me was missing the warm sunshine, drifting around the pool or exploring the beach, dockside cafes, and any other warm weather activity I was engaged in while on vacation!
But, then, I did miss you all, and this lovely little market!!
So, here we are with a brand new week of ordering, just waiting for you!
And, on a sudsy note, ELM Tree Essentials is another vendor, returning, with 6 soap scents, and 3 more coming in 2 weeks!!
It’s like coming home week, with all of the returning vendors!!
Also, a note from Gourmet Fibers…they will be out for a few more weeks, but will keep us updated as to their return!!
And, with that, I am off to pour a glass of wine, and warm up!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
