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!
Merry and Bright!
’Tis the season, and all that jazz…
A reminder that you have until tomorrow morning, Wednesday, at 8am, to get your orders in!
And…for everyone who has been asking, I wanted to wait, until now, so as not to confuse the market pick up dates, etc., but, we will have one more market, after this one. That market pick up date will be on December 20! We will then close the market for the entire holiday, to give your market managers, the vendors, the staff of the YMCA, and you, a bit of a holiday break, and then a regroup.
I will reopen the market ordering, for 2019, on January 3rd, and your first market pick up for the new year will be on January 10!
Now…go, order, we will see you on Thursday!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
