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!
A Change Would Do You Good
A change,
(A change would do you good)
Would do you good,
(A change would do you good)
I think a change,
(A change would do you good)
Would do you good.
(A change would do you good)

So, lately, I have been revisiting all of my favorite female artists from back in the 1990s. Totally on replay, morning, during my baking, in the evening when I am making dinner.
They were a soul, rocking, bluesy group. They came before the next wave of Britneys and the 2000 girls of song.
Back in the 90s, I had my little sidekick, my daughter, and she would bop along on my hip, in our little beach town that we loved so much, and we would visit the beach, the museums, the festivals, the shops, and I raised her on these women of the musical 90s, on Grateful Dead, on The Stones, just about anything that wasn’t baby related.
I still remember her little blonde head, bopping along, singing one of Jewel’s songs, as she entered her little preschool.
I love those memories, I loved the spirit of the girl rockers in that time frame, and I love the message of this song, as I apply it to our little market of love, right here, online.
Sometimes, a change will do you good. Making a change in your eating, shopping, spending, is always a good plan, a bit of a jumpstart to your health, your soul, your whole feel good aura.
How about going in for a change, this week? Order something, or a whole lot of somethings from our market? You’ll never know if you like us or the products, until you try us.
Come on…the change will do you good…
XOXO,
