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!
Did You Sail Across The Sun?
Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey
Since the return of her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Hey, hey…
(Drops Of Jupiter-Train)
Well, hello, hey there, yes, your market manager just landed back into reality, yesterday afternoon. Back in the atmosphere, back from the sun, beach, water…
And, getting my groove back, while monitoring your little local market of love…
Remember, to be able to get our lettuce orders in for market pickup, on Thursday, I MUST close the market, now, at 8pm, on Tuesday evenings…
Don’t be left sad, and uninformed…we can make this work because it’s how we used to run the market hours in the very early days…
I can hardly wait to see all of you at the Thursday pickup!!
All you need to do is…order!
XOXO,
