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, Old Friend!
As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.
Hello old friend,
It’s really good to see you once again.

Hello, this evening, to our old friends, End Of The Road Farms!!! Make sure to show them some love, show them how much they were missed, and show them your love for this little local market of love…
I hope that all of you had amazing, beautiful, sunshine filled weekends!! Today was like a breath of spring!! I just had to pop my A/C on, again, my herbs are the most beautiful yet, the Hippie and the Farmer gardens are seeing a second run of tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce, and I am sooooooo trippy, hippie happy for all of this!!
Also, tomorrow I am meeting with someone who is interested in becoming your next market manager!! So excited for this person who has been so dedicated to the local cause, for so many years!!
So, this evening, hello, old friends, old market of love, and a huge dose golden sunshine days!!
Remember to order…you have until tomorrow evening, but you don’t want to miss out on any of the fun!!
