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!

Some news for you from Swisher Hill Herbs…This is the last week for Swisher Hill Herbs’ live plants. They aren’t going away quietly though as they are going to feature their 3 inch Basil pots for $2.25 which is one dollar off! Each pot contains 3-4 basil plants which is a super deal! Get them before they are gone for the year! Thanks Charlene and Joe for all the work it takes to bring live plants to the market! We have all benefitted from growing a bit of you all over the county!
