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!
500 Miles
If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone…
(Peter, Paul & Mary – 500 Miles)
I have been obsessed with this song, for awhile, and am singing it, now, as I post…as I was humming it’s tune, it seemed appropriate for this reminder…
What we don’t want, for you, is to miss the last day of getting your market order in. You don’t want to remember, after 8pm, only to have us gone for another week!!
Take just a few minutes, figure out what we can do for you, what order needs we can fill, and go ahead and get them in! The train won’t leave without you until, tonight….we don’t want to leave you behind…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
