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!
Hats Off to You!

Need some fresh mint for your juleps this weekend for your Derby party? Need a Buckeye tree or apple pie for Mother’s Day? Are you thinking of an item for the grill perhaps? Think of us instead of running to the store! All it takes is a bit more planning to buy by 8 PM tonight. We have so many options for your weekend entertaining or hostess gifts. Times a’ticking and those ponies don’t wait (nor does Mom!;) Have a Terrific Tuesday and a wonderful week!
Don’t forget to bring a market bag Thursday so we can continue to reduce waste! Hope to see you there!
