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!

Charlene and Joe send this special news to you! "We have been experimenting with various bar-be-cue recipes to use during the week of the 4th when our son and his family come to visit. Well we have come up with what Charlene and I both think are real winners for pulled pork including homemade barbecue sauce, and a zesty red and green Cole Slaw. We have added the recipes to the locally grown data base, and in addition to our Sweet & Zesty Rub, to ensure everyone who wants to can try them we have added the following herbs and spices to product list.
Make your own Spiced Apple Mint Vinegar packet.
Ground Yellow Mustard
Whole Celery Seed"
Be sure to check out their blends!
Have a great Sunny Sunday! Happy Summer and know the market awaits you!
