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!
Shout-out time!

One more thing…I just have to give kudos to a few vendors tonight who are working their kiesters off for us: Swisher Hill Herbs, JC Growers and out of this world Cosmic Charlie who are creating new products like mad! Check out their new items, especially those which would make super holiday gifts! I could not be more proud of you guys! Love, love, love the new stuff! Great job ladies!
