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!
Asparagus time is here!

Extra, extra!!! I wanted to let you know Harrigan’s have joined our market to offer their wonderful asparagus! I just received word tonight so thought I would write to everyone ASAP. She thinks she will have 30 pounds this week with 40 more next week! Two Peas in A Pod (my kids) have a few pounds listed too but you just can’t beat Harrigan’s quantities. Happy day to you and remember the market closes at 8 PM Tuesday!
