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!

Also, congrats to Cheryl Weislak for winning the first $25 giveaway! Cheryl is a very loyal shopper and we are so glad she gets to shop even more with us! Remember to shop the next three weeks for your turn to win one too!
I’m opening up the market early because, well …why not? All the orders are out the door, the volunteers are home safe and sound and it is time to do it all over again!
Have a great weekend!
