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 Honeyed Haze
It’s that time of the day when the sunshine dissolves into that golden haze that looks like honey as the light fades into the soon to be evening.
I’ve just poured a glass of wine, listening to Sweet Virginia by The Rolling Stones, and making dinner.
At the same time, I’m thinking about what orders I will be placing at the market before we close, for the week, in the morning.
Will you be folllowing me?
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
