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!
Egg Cartons
Calling all egg customers!!
Just a reminder that we do accept all egg cartons, after you have consumed the eggs that you purchased from our market!!
The egg vendors will love you for it!! And, the earth will love you for it!!
If at ALL possible…if you know remember which vendor you purchased the eggs from, could you divide them up, that way? Maybe tape a name to the stack you bring in, or just tell me the name of the vendor so I can designate them to the right storage area? Thank you, so much!!
Egg vendors…a new way to get your cartons…I will set up areas, with your names, under the cabinet where you always get your returned cartons from. Try to remember to check, each week, and take your stack. I will also try to get your stacks out, to give to you.
We go from either having no cartons, to having too many to deal with, OR, it’s a free for all on the cartons.
Just trying to simplify…
Thank you,
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
