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!
Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Listen baby, ain’t no mountain high,
Ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide enough;
Baby if you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far;
Just call my name; I’ll be there in a hurry;
You don’t have to worry,
‘Cause baby there ain’t no mountain high enough,
Ain’t no valley low enough,
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe…
(Diana Ross-Ain’t No Mountain High Enough)
So, I am opening the market, this evening, with this song in my head. Also, inspired by a new pair of disco inspired shoes that one of my best friends gave me for one of my birthday presents, tonight!!
Ain’t no mountain high enough to keep any of us from this little local market of love!!
So, get with it, get groovy, join in, tune in…whatever motivates you, just don’t let anything keep you from ordering!!
And, thank you, everyone, for the sweet birthday wishes, all evening, at the market!! You mean the world to me!!
XOXO,
