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!

Hello market customers! A quick note to let you know about our newest vender, Crimson Cup Coffees offered by the Depot Coffee House! You all know Susan and Dave Oelker who bring us our wonderful coffee experience at the restored Urbana Train Depot. Now, they can satisfy your java jolt needs at home too! Check out their coffees and soon teas too (or tea for two): Service with a smile in Urbana or at home!
And since she is a personal favorite of mine, I have to welcome a new customer to the market! Welcome Ellen Spinner, our favorite local goddess of Mechanicsburg! I’m raising my Crimson cup of joy to you Miss Elle!
Happy shopping and hurry…less than three hours til the market closes!
