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!
The Warming Trend
Could it be that we are finally going to inch our way into spring? Even though I woke up to snow flurries, and ice on my car, the day became full of sunshine with a hint of warmth…fingers crossed that we are on the upswing!!
Thank you, to all, who ordered from the market, this week, as well as all of you who order from our market, regularly.
Also, I was sorry to miss everyone at the market pick up, this evening, but thank you for helping Mark keep it all in line.
I left early to begin packing for a sorority trip, this weekend! I will be heading south, to my Kentucky alma mater, for fun, sisterhood, and laughs…
While I am gone, I want to see everyone ordering!! We have some eggs added back to the market from Oakview Farm Meats, and we welcome a new egg vendor from Ladybug Farms!!
I will see you when I return from my weekend of fun…let’s hope we are on a warming trend, and let’s continue the great momentum of this market!!
XOXO,
