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!
Happy Post-Turkey Day!

Good morning everyone! I hope this finds you still enjoying the memories of a few days with family or friends, or even to yourself…or at least the dishes are done and the house is back together. The leftovers have either been consumed or put in the freezer…Thank goodness, right?
Just a reminder that it is Monday and the market closes tomorrow night at 8 pm! Be sure to enter our third week contest in order to win $25 of credit towards any local item on our site. Just put your name in the bowl at checkout. What is better than free? (Especially local and free?)
Be sure to start making your holiday gift lists as many of our items would make perfect gifts for those you love! (Especially since it is Cyber Monday!) What would be better than shopping local AND online today with us??? That is a pretty cool way to share your hard-earned dollars with the Champaign County area. Our vendors work very hard and we want them to know how much we care.
Have a super post-turkey kind of day!
