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


Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy…
(Simon&Garfunkel-59th Street Bridge Song)

Why not take it easy on this beautiful Saturday morning, and look at all of the products on our market, and then place your orders!!

Each week, we add more and more produce, vendors, and products…check us out!!

This past Thursday was extra fun at market pick up, because we actually had a micro market within our market, in the lobby of the YMCA.

It was fun to have vendors connect with customers, who usually do not get that opportunity to do this!!

Go ahead…get groovy, and give us a try…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
