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!
Thursday Note!

It’s beautiful, and so are you…

Good morning, lovely market customers…
This is your reminder that if you ordered, this week, tonight is your market order pick up! 4pm-6pm, OR 10am-12pm, tomorrow, OR…Saturday, 10am-4pm! Just please let me know if you need the Friday or Saturday pick up time so that I can move your order into those time slots!
And…if you are new to the market, this evening, you may pay for your market order via exact cash, in a ziplock bag, with your name, or a check made out to Oakview Farm Meats, or by phoning me with a credit card number!
It looks like a hard rain’s gonna fall, this evening, so you all may want to also put your checks in a ziplock bag to prevent them from getting wet on my journey from your car to the greenhouse!
Thank you, all of you, for always showing the market so much love! See you at pick up!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
