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!
Feelin' Groovy and All That Jazz
Ok!! Listen up…the market is cruising at a nice pace, leading up to the closing at 10pm!!
Make sure to get your orders in, so you don’t miss out on the fun, until next week!!
We talked about making a change, switching it up, trying a different approach to eating, to knowing your food, to knowing your producers…
So, let’s ALL get real groovy, man, and just let those orders flow…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
