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!
Important Info. For Tomorrow's Market!
Happy Wednesday evening, lovely market customers!
Just a word about tomorrow night’s market pick up, if you placed an order for this week!!
We have been watching the weather, and it’s not looking good for the usual market pick up time!!
In an effort to get your orders into your cars, you back on the road safely, vendors off the roads, and your market managers, and staff, out of potential hazards with the weather, we are going to have market pick ups happening, all day, beginning at noon!!
Your orders will be ready, and I will just need you to call me, 937-926-4833, once you arrive in front of the greenhouse. I will bring your orders out to you. There is no need to exit your car.
If you can make it, starting at noon, that will be great! Once the evening hits, and if we begin to get icy, like predicted, the shop will close, and I am headed home!!
We are also aiming for no Friday pick ups, this week, just in case Friday morning is bad.
Thank you, for your cooperation!! Again, starting at noon, you may come get your orders!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
