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, Again!
Short and sweet, tonight, as your market manager is tired, and heading to some much needed rest…
I am opening the market, again, for the week. You will see your favorite growers, coming and going in the next month or so. They are working on product, we are all getting ready for the growing season, some are waiting on sun filled days for green house growth, others are waiting on Mother Nature. We are looking forward to the arrival of the dairy producer, and we are looking forward to days of sun, warmth, and produce…
It will all come back…just be patient with us, and order what we do have…
We will love you, forever…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
