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!
Friday Ordering
Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation…
(Drops Of Jupiter-Train)
I am back from my soul vacation, chilly beach walks, communing with the ocean, taking it all in…now, I am back, and I am looking at a bare pantry, bare fridge, and sad looking cabinets…
But, no problem, because on this early Friday morning, I am placing my market order for all the good things that the market has to offer!! Are you doing the same? The Friday Ordering?
I love that I can enter the weekend knowing that my market order is placed, and will be waiting for me on Thursday…
“Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair
She acts like summer and walks like rain”
(Go ahead…you know you want to flip this song on, and turn it up…) Perfect for listening while placing those orders…

Thursday Pick Up!
If you placed an order for this week, today is market pick up day!
Order pick up is from 3pm-5:30
Friday 10am=12pm
Saturday 10am-4pm
I just need to know if you need a Friday or Saturday pick up, if you are not already a regular Friday/Saturday pick up!
ALSO…it’s been a cold few days!!! Today will be a bit warmer, but not enough for me to be standing in the cold greenhouse…lol.
So, the market is set up, inside the shop, and I will watch for your cars to pull up, and I will be out with your orders! It may take a few minutes, but I will gather it all up, and be out to you!!
Thank you for always supporting this amazing, long standing, local vendor driven market…
XOXO,

California Dreamin'
I’ve been for a walk…
On a winter’s day…
California dreamin’…
On such a winter’s day…
(Mama’s and the Papa’s)
Another cold, and snowy day…like, really cold!! The perfect morning to stay inside, spin some tunes, sip on a hot beverage, and to get those market orders in before 8am, for the weekly market pick up!!
Sending all the love, sun, and warming vibes to us all…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
