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!

I’m Uncle Sam, how do you do?

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my
(US Blues-Grateful Dead)

One of my must listen to songs for this lovely Fourth Day Of July!

Hello, market customers, welcome back!! We’ve missed you, we hope that you have had a glorious day of celebrating, and now we are getting back to market business!

Since we’ve been gone, we’ve added more produce vendors, I’ve added a summer selection of soups, Hippie and the Farmer have added new varieties of frozen dinners, some of our vendors have been busy networking in the trenches, and others have added more product!

Here we are…winding down this July 4th, and ready to take you into this next season of summer…

XOXO,
