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!
Reminder for market pick-up...
This post expired on April 11, 2023.
Just a reminder for those customers, old and new, who ordered this week. Please don’t forget to pick up your orders from 4:30-6:30 at the Y tomorrow evening (Thursday). The process starts by paying at the front desk and bringing your receipt to the volunteer table. There you will gather your basket, or bag, and go thru your order to confirm everything is there. Please remember to bring a shopping bag for your items so we can be as waste-free as possible. Thank you for helping us trim down our amount of help needed to fill the orders. See you there!
