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!

Shelter From The Storm


Come in, she said, I’ll give you shelter from the storm…
(Shelter From The Storm-Bob Dylan)

This weather!! We’ve got it all coming at us…and, while it is crazy, outside, our market can offer you the happy shelter that you need! Shelter as in we can make this cold, this wind, this ice, this oncoming everything, easier, because you can place your weekly order while staying cozy warm, and then our market, our vendors, your managers, and the Y staff takes it from there…just for you!

And, while we know that you could pick up, curbside, many places, you cannot get that local love, from your lovely market, at a big box pick up place…

Come in…we’ll give you shelter from the storm…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
