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!

People let me tell you ’bout my best friend…

After my post, last night, I remembered that I left out a very important person in your lives…your furry friends. Don’t forget, this market offers nutritional dog treats for those friends!! Your pets are people, too, and some super yummy treats would help them through these dreary winter days…
And, jams/jellies, along with the zip of the mustards, and the sweet heat of the jalapeno offerings!!
We really do have it all!!
