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!
Handle With Care
Everybody’s got somebody to lean on…
(Handle With Care-Traveling Wilburys)
The Traveling Wilburys…what a group of super rock legends, all formed into one group for a very short time in rock history. One of them, Roy Orbison, leaving the group way too soon, followed by George Harrison. But, oh when they were all together, what a sound.
I also super love that this group all came together with the idea of making super music, right in the time frame when Los Angeles was my stomping grounds. I could have been anywhere in Malibu while they were all at Dylan’s house in Malibu, making sweet music. Well, in my rock muse secret life, that’s how I would have it.
Anyway, this lyric, everybody’s got somebody to lean on, makes me happy, makes me hope that this is true, and it makes me hopeful that this is how you view our little market of love.
That we are always somebody you can lean on. We are open, most of the week, day and night, all year. We leave the lovelight on so that you can order at your leisure. We bring our love to this game, so that you KNOW you can lean on us, depend on us, and you even let us educate you.
Just like the Traveling Wilburys, we all formed, years ago, to bring you our own little local super group of love, food, products.
Go ahead, look over your market lists, give us an order, let us be the somebody you need to lean on…
XOXO,
