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!
It's A Full House!!
So, it looks like it’s going to be a full house in the lobby, tonight!
Along with Herr Family Farm, and Madison’s Gluten Free Baking, we are adding our newest produce vendor, Pickle Boy Produce to the mix!!
He is setting up, tonight, to get to know everyone, and then will begin to add stuff to the market!!
Tonight, he will have fresh green beans, AND, MAYBE…I am hearing rumblings of sweet corn!! He grows all produce, chemically free, and we are excited to get to know him!!
Again…make plans to stop in the lobby, bring extra cash, and take advantage of what is looking like a micro market, within the market!!
XOXO,
