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 Evening Checklist


Hello!! How are you, and how was your weekend? And, just to remind you that it’s a Monday, that does feel like a Sunday, but tomorrow is Tuesday, and that means you need to think about ordering, and the Tuesday 8am cut off for weekly ordering!!

Also, a few notes…

JC Growers added their seasonal, and amazing garlic scapes!!! Just like all of the seasonal produce, it only lasts a short time!!! And, well, garlic scapes are something of a culinary treat!!

Also, don’t miss out on their radishes!! I have some of their white icicle radishes roasting in the oven with some of Oakview’s pork chops, simmering in a ginger Dijon glaze!!

AND…this is the LAST week for the asparagus season!!! Make sure you order before it’s gone!!!

I hope you have had a happy and healthy holiday, and I will see you at Thursday’s pick up!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Hip, Hip For The Holiday!!


Well, here we are…ready to usher in the holiday weekend that leads us to all that is lovely!!

School is out, graduation is over, grad parties are underway, vacation planning goes into full swing, and the golden, lazy, hazy days of summer come rambling in. Officially, not until later in June. Unofficially, we are already there.

I know that your weekend will be packed with fun, or relaxation, or full of events!! But, take a little down time to get your market orders in for this seasonal amazing goodness that comes to you, each week, via…LOCAL!!

I wish you all the best vibes for the weekend!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
