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!
Monday Mania
Good morning! And, if you are like me, you are facing a manic Monday, leading into a crazy week!
I’m taking a bit of time, this morning, to get my market orders in, so I can relax on the food front, knowing that I can pack my amazing items up, on Thursday, and buzz home with them, having not had to hit the big stores, and make my way through their craziness.
I was looking back at home this market has helped to shape my shopping habits since May of 2011…all for the good!!
And, if you don’t jump on while we are bursting with local/seasonal items, you will be so sad!!
Go ahead…wipe out that manic Monday feeling, and get your orders in before tomorrow at 8am!
Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn’t make it on time…
(Manic Monday-The Bangles)
And, there you go…a song implant to sing while you are placing those orders!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
