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!

Good Afternoon! This is your weekly reminder that the market closes tonight at 8 pm. That means drop your children to basketball, your daughter to piano, your mother to her yoga class, bring Dad his newspaper, run your dog to the groomer, mail those bills and get yourself a cup of decaf all before at least 7:30 pm so you can be sure to get your order completed to the market.
Even better, head to www.champaignoh.locallygrown.net now and get your order placed before you run out of time! There are still lots of great options!
I’ll be sending word too on Cosmic Charlie’s expanding business later. Our very own Cosmic Pam is growing into Clark County and has a big announcement. She even has invited us to be a part of the grand opening! I’ll send out another note when I get the full scoop. Be sure to watch for details to come! Great job Pam!
