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 morning everyone! The sun is shining and that is all I will say about that!

Don’t forget to check your calendar and note that today is Tuesday which means it is the last day to order from the market this week. I will shut the door tonight at 8 pm and complete sales until Thursday when you can order for next week.

Be sure to get your orders in for any special Valentine’s Day love! Who wouldn’t want a nice, juicy cut of something from Oakview Farm Fresh Meats or a loaf of some Cosmic goodness? We have cookies and candies too for that special squeeze! Spices and syrups are sweet options too! This year get creative for your cupid-inspired gift giving!

Just be sure to do it prior to 8 pm tonight! Stay warm, or get warm if need be, and I hope to see you all pop up in my email with your orders! Have a super day!
