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!
Closing Time!
Did you forget? I know…so much to get used to. First, the time change! Look at that brightness, out there, still!!
And, the new market closing hour of tonight, in about 10 minutes!
If you hurry, you can still make it!!
Closing time will only be sad time, if you miss getting your weekly order in!
XOXO,

Did You Sail Across The Sun?
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey
Since the return of her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Hey, hey…
(Drops Of Jupiter-Train)
Well, hello, hey there, yes, your market manager just landed back into reality, yesterday afternoon. Back in the atmosphere, back from the sun, beach, water…
And, getting my groove back, while monitoring your little local market of love…
Remember, to be able to get our lettuce orders in for market pickup, on Thursday, I MUST close the market, now, at 8pm, on Tuesday evenings…
Don’t be left sad, and uninformed…we can make this work because it’s how we used to run the market hours in the very early days…
I can hardly wait to see all of you at the Thursday pickup!!
All you need to do is…order!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Vacation Brain
Hello!!!
I have been so off the grid, off social media, and not even taking pictures because my brain is on vacation!
But, I totally forgot to take myself off of vacation mode, since I will be returning on Monday!
So….Cosmic Charlie is back on the market!
Kimmy Shark dog cookies are now called, Barkery Creations!
We now have a new vendor, Allison, with Seed and Sparrow!
Ok…be back to you, soon!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Greetings From Florida!
Hello, little market of love customers!
I’m in FLA, enjoying the sunshine vibes, so it’s short and sweet, tonight, but I need you to listen up!!
We will now need to close out the market on Tuesday evenings, at 8pm!
Old Soals needs extra time to process orders, so we are going to accommodate that! Also, in the coming weeks, they are adding basil, and spinach!!
What I now need from you….order, order early, and let’s make this work as a group effort!!
Thanks, so much, and you know I love you!
See you, soon!

Right Time Of The Night...
Sun goes down on a silky day
Quarter moon walkin’ through the Milky Way…
Jennifer Warnes-Right Time Of The Night
Anyone now in a sappy 70s mood for music? Well, I was singing this, in my head, as I started writing my weblog, to tell you that it is the perfect time of the night, to get your orders in…
We are here for you, and ready to take your orders up until Wednesday at 8am!
Your market manager is leaving on vacay, tomorrow, and your co-manager will be so sad if he doesn’t see all of your happy faces, at market pick up!
Come on…show your local market, a big dose of love!

The market is now open for ordering!
Your market manager is exhausted, and will post a longer Weblog, in the next few days, but feel free to order!!
