The Weblog
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!
Hello...
The holiday weekend has now officially come to a close, it’s Tuesday evening, not the Monday evening that it seems like, and we are looking at closing the market for the week.
The holiday weeks always seem to mess this market up a bit so I am going to leave it open until 11pm, this evening, so that everyone can race, run, speed to the market site and get their orders in!
I apologize for being a bit of a slacker on the Weblog front, this weekend. I took a bit of time off, and then I went to be with one of my oldest, and closest friends while their son is in the hospital in Dayton.
But, I am on it, now, and I want to see those orders flowing in!!!!
You have extra time…let’s get this party started!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
