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 Back!!
Today, we welcome back a long time favorite, long time missed vendor…JC Growers is BACK with their selections of dried garlic varieties, gourmet selections, and spice blends!!
We love you, JC Growers…and we give you a huge little local market of love hug!!
I also got a peek at Laura Miller’s online additions of her oils…she’s not live, YET, but it should only be a matter of time!!
And, Doug is now an official vendor, on the market, so it’s also only a matter of time before we see the scratch made pies that are iconic to The Airport Café!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
