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!
Another week is upon us!

Thank you to Michelle and Charlene for leading us last night at a great market! Don’t forget shopping is available until Tuesday night!
Some exciting news to share too! Thank you to Swisher Hill Herbs who offered up some of their wonderful spring herbs as both decorations and for sale to help raise both awareness and funding for the Caring Kitchen and the Market Street Community Garden. We so enjoyed their beauty and made a few dollars to boot! Thank you Charlene and Joe!
