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!
A Brief Pause...
Hello, and happy Thursday to you all!!
Just a heads up that we will be taking a break, this coming week, with the market!
I will be on vacation, leaving the morning of next Thursday! Your assistant manager, Mark, will be taking over sole catering duties for our Hippie and the Farmer, for an event, all on his own, right during market time, next Thursday! And…Paul, our YMCA hero, is going to be gone, next week, putting us into a vendor check signing dilemma!
So, to make it an easy call, we will be closed for orders, until I reopen the market, next Thursday, July 19!!
Enjoy your week, and we will see you soon!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
