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!

The market is once again open for business! Thanks again to Swisher Hill’s Charlene and Joe for helping to run the show! I hear we had a special cameo appearance from Mark Runyan of Oakview Meats. There are good things that come from the delays brought on by the rain during harvest time! Thanks guys! Have a wonderful weekend and please spread the word of the market to your friends and family! Our vendors are so awesome and we want the rest of the world to know it! Enjoy!
