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!

I have been thinking of a way to share a resource, that although is one I love dearly, is better used by being shared. I have a vice to admit. I love books! So here’s the plan…I will lend these as long as they keep coming back to the roost. I’ve posted a few randomly-selected works and you can sign them out just like purchasing a product, but of course there is no fee. Let’s try to have them out for two weeks at a time and if you need longer, you can email me and we’ll make it work. We’ll see how it goes and I’m hoping they will be kept safe in your trust. I’ll add to the list as I find time. I know you trendsetters believe in lifelong learning too so I feel this is good for both of us. If I find some snag with copy write issues, I might have to just bring them to the market to set out, but let’s try and see how it works! The more we all learn, the better we can teach others and expand our services to our communities in which we serve through all avenues we touch! Enjoy!
