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!
Good day shoppers!

Good afternoon everyone! Hoping you and your Toto are safe! Just a reminder that the market is available for orders until tomorrow night at 8 PM. We hope you will support your favorite vendors and try a new one each week if you are able. Again, if there is something you would like to see added to the market, give us a shout! You can also email your vendor of choice directly and request something. While there are no guarantees, I doesn’t hurt to ask, right?
Also we were curious on something…do you like the additional days we have added to shop or are two days enough? We are tracking the sales and some of you seem to wait til the last minute anyway so extra days don’t seem to matter. Let us know what works best for you as we aim to please! We want to make this as easy as possible for you to shop locally!
Have a great day and show us some love if you can!
