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!
Tuesday Night Reminder
Just a reminder, as you shovel out of your houses, thaw the icy steps, stay warm…the market is open until tomorrow morning at 8am!
I don’t blame you for not thinking about ordering when this weather has thrown such a cold, icy chill our way…but, what better time to order??
While it is glistening, and diamond like, outside…take a moment to get your thoughts together for your weekly stock up from your little local market of love!
Also, I have been hard at work on the market site! I have streamlined the market column at the left side of the page! Most vendors all now have their own top billing either in their own category or in their subcategories!
It was time for a bit of house cleaning…
Ok…I’m leaving you, as I get ready to pour a glass of wine, and begin my dinner prep with items that I ordered, last week, from our market…
XOXO,
