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!
We Are Here!
We know it is the week of the Champaign County fair, we know it usually slows down, for us, during this week, but just giving you a little shout, a little wave, a little love, just to remind you that we are live, until tomorrow morning at 8am…just in case you can’t go a week without us.
If not, we will see everyone, back to normal, next week!!
Also…Champaign Berry has added more peaches, and berries!! How peachy!
And, we have new produce items from new local grower, Vegetables From Olga Wright!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
