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!
Summer Breeze!

Yes, it’s a song title but that is truly what it feels like, outside! And the temps are only going to get better with each day! That means that by Thursday, it will be LOVELY!! Lovely for pickup, lovely to see you at pickup, lovely to send you home with lovely local items!
Take advantage of the mild weather! Place your orders before 8pm, tonight, and venture out on Thursday to enjoy the weather on your way to pickup!
The market is rocking and we are poised to break even our best record week!! Let’s do this!
