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 Sun Is Up...
…the sky is blue, it’s beautiful, and so are you…
(Dear Prudence-The Beatles)
But, really…have you been outside, this morning? It’s so lovely…
And, the other lovely thing? Getting your orders in!!
I got a text from Beth, at Harrigan’s Harvest, and this could very well be the last week for asparagus!!! ORDER!!!
And, don’t forget, you also need fresh lettuce, from Old Souls for all of your salad needs!!
And, it’s grilling weather, and we’ve got that covered with all of the frozen meat selections!
Breads? Soups? Sweets? Eggs? Maple Syrup? Soaps? Oils? You need it ALL!!! Dog treats for the furry friends? Pies?
…won’t you come out to play?
Go ahead…crank up the song, you know you are singing it!
XOXO,
