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!
Welcome to our Thursday!!
It’s another Thursday, which means it’s another market night, which means we will also have vendors in the lobby, bringing you a live, micro kind of market, that we have been hosting, each week!!
Make sure to bring extra cash with you, at pick up, or feel free to stop in, even if you didn’t get to order, this week, and get to know the vendors!!
Tonight, we welcome back:
Dugan Road Creamery! (Milk, yogurt, cheese curds)
Herr Family Farms! (Peaches, produce)
