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!
Tuesday Love
Happy day, little local market of love customers…
It’s a bit dreary, this morning, but we can help put the sunshine feels into your morning by offering you all the products of our market.
Now is when you will want to take advantage of all the seasonal produce, from the various vendors, while it’s here, in season, from your local stomping ground.
Also…a few notes…ELM Tree Essentials soaps are in vacation mode while they work on replenishing product!
Homecomer ORGANICS dried herb mixes will be back…she is also busy trying to regroup, and get product replenished!
Go ahead…take a dreary morning, and make it the sunshine spot of your day by getting your orders in!

Hello, there!
And, just like that, we are looking at Monday…
It felt like we just drifted into Friday, not s care in the world, and here we are….Monday.
Does Monday catch you a bit off guard? I admire people who spend their Sunday getting all prepared for the week ahead. I’m not that girl. I have never been that girl.
I’m the girl squeezing the fun, the laziness, the mindless out of every last second of my Sunday.
Which may explain my Monday morning terror trip of reality! But, you know helps? Knowing that at least my market shopping can be made easy with our little local market, right here, online, bringing you the best of the best.
Monday terror trip avoided…all with the click of your ordering!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Tuesday Groove
I remember when I was in college, every little bar in my college town had a, Groovy Tuesday. Drinks were cheap, free, depending on who you knew. The music was all groovy themed, and it’s where you went to kick away the remnants of Mondays, and to jump start your week, going into Wednesday.
Groovy Tuesday…I still think that Tuesdays are groovy, Mondays are horrid, and Wednesdays are just holding patterns until you reach Thursdays. The actual beginning of the week’s end.
I think it’s fitting to have this market’s last full day, each week, take place on the Tuesday groove.
Make it extra groovy by getting your orders in before 6am, tomorrow morning.
You don’t want to waste all of the grooviness that the market has to offer…
Our market, the vendors, the customers, the products…your own personal groove line…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Monday, Monday...
Has it been a moody Monday for you? A go get ‘em kind of Monday? An easy Monday, or a bury your head kind of Monday?
No matter what kind of Monday you are experiencing, we can put some peaceful love into the beginning of your week, to take you into the rest of the week to make things all easy!
Get your market orders in, and your week will thank you!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Happy, Happy Thursday!!
I was shopping, the other day, and the place was playing tunes, and one of them was the song, Happy!
It was infectious to bop around to, and it’s how this market makes me feel…just always a big Happy dance!
Let’s all get happy, together, and groove our orders in!!!
Let’s do this…let’s all get…Happy!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
