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!
Ooh La La-Happy News!
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger…

Hello! It’s a sunshine Thursday morning, and I am bringing you the best news!
Your Hippie has been cleared for action!! I was released from my surgeon and plastic surgeon, yesterday, and need no additional procedures!! So, that means, after all these weeks, I can return to baking for the market!!
When the market opens, this evening, you will find that I have brought back some past favorites and added new frozen pizza varieties!!
AND…ONE NOTE ABOUT PICK UP!!!!
I have stern, and I mean, real stern instructions, not to be out in the direct sun. So, with today being all about the sun and 90 degrees, I will be watching for your cars to pull up, from inside the meat shop. Just pull up to the greenhouse door, and I will then be out to give you your orders!! I just need a bit of patience, and you will then be on your way!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
