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!
Red and Black!
No…it’s not a school chant, it’s to let you know that not only do we have red raspberries, on the market, but we now also have the black raspberries!! My personal favorite!!
So, let’s all chant…red and black, red and black!!! And, get those orders in for these delicious SEASONAL gems!!! Remember…they don’t last long, and you want to enjoy them while the season allows us!!
Thanks, Champaign Berry Farm!!
XOXO,
