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!
Thank you, come again!

Good evening! Just a reminder that the market is open for business once again! A special thank you to everyone who visited us tonight at pickup and also a huge thanks to those vendors who donated something for the annual Chamber of Commerce dinner tomorrow night. Lonny’s Green Acres, Swisher Hill Herbs, Cosmic Charlie Breads, Oskview Farm Fresh Meats, Harold Holzinger, and Homecomer Traditions- we thank you! It will be a special basket for sure! Enjoy a wonderful weekend and please remember to tell a friend about us! Rumor has it JC Growers will have some produce for us out of the greenhouse next week so keep your eyes peeled!
