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!

Happy Monday, lovely market customers!
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend even though it was a hot one!! I ventured to Columbus for Picnic With The Pops, Saturday evening, and it actually had a nice breeze, and super pleasant as the sun had already dropped below the buildings by the time the music started.
This summer, I’ve vowed to take it a bit easy, allowing myself to be kind to my face, and let those very last stages of healing take place.
So, and, I am doing a social media cleanse…good for the soul!
In turn, I am enjoying a calm summer with music, books, and going where the wind blows. Quite nice. I’ve put catering on hold until the end of August, but still baking for this market!!
Baking just brings me calmness, and allows my creativity to come out. So, thank you, for you continued love of Cosmic Charlie!
Today’s song implant is courtesy of a book I am reading. So, this song has been swirling around in my head, and thought it would make for a great light tune to kick off the week.
Now, the market!! We have raspberries for maybe this last round so take advantage!! They are sooooo good!!!
And, zucchini has made an appearance!!! So good from JC Growers!! I love making ribbons of it, and then skewering for easy grilling!!
Speaking of summer grilling…the market has so many options from the amazing vendors!!!
Let’s get to ordering all of the fun! You have until 8am, tomorrow, to take advantage!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Have a song filled day…
