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 am sure you have heard by now but our friend Pam Bowshier with Cosmic Charlie Bread is hosting her Grand Opening today at 117 Scioto Street. Stop in, Bread Heads and everyone else, to say congrats to Pam as she expands to a commercial baking space. Hard work pays off and nobody beats the bushes as many hours of the day as Pam! We’re so excited for you Pam! Congrats!
