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 Rain Song
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah…
(The Rain Song-Led Zeppelin)
We’ve got the rain, that’s for sure…but like the lyric, a little rain must fall…
To make the most of this rainy day, and the last day of this market, why not take some time to order for the week! The market will be closing, tomorrow morning, at 8am, and you don’t want tears, falling like raindrops, when you miss the deadline.
Also, I am aware that market pick up falls on Valentine’s Eve…but just swing by, early, grab your order, and then head out to grab your sweetie. Or group of pals. Or your dog, cat, whoever is the love in your life…but, make us your first love…
XOXO,
