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!
Pretty In Pink
Pretty in pink, isn’t she?
Pretty in pink, isn’t she?
(Psychedelic Furs)
Good morning, lovelies!
Just a market note to say, Happy Friday, the market is open, there is so much loveliness to order, and also to remind you that asparagus season is fleeting, so make sure you take full advantage on the market orders!!
Pretty In Pink is the song rambling around in my head, this morning for a few reasons. First, last evening, as I do each evening, I was watering all of my plants, planters, ferns, and enjoying a glass of wine on my back deck. I sat down, for a moment, glanced up at the sky, and saw the most brilliant hot pink sunset smashed against the bright blue sky. So amazing.
I went, inside, where I had just arranged a cobalt blue vase full of the LOVELIEST pink peonies that Flourish has on the market, and once again, a pretty in pink moment! Another reminder that they have had the most beautiful peonies on the market, for ordering, but like asparagus, the season doesn’t last long, so order these beauties!
Finally, this song…a staple from my 80s club days, and, also, a group of my pals are all headed off to see the Psychedelic Furs and X, in July! Hello, club days!!
Have a lovely pink filled days, and take a bit of time to order your own loveliness from the market!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
