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!
Listen To Your Head...
…it’s telling you to feed it with all of the loveliness that the market has to offer, and to get those orders in, all day, today…
You don’t want sadness, tomorrow morning, at 8am, when you realize you forgot to order!!
I hope you had a lovely weekend!! I took a bit of time off, went to Columbus, stayed the night, saw a Grateful Deadish band play, twirled around, made some cool friends, and then returned, yesterday, totally renewed. Well, a bit tired, but totally renewed…lol.
Now, it’s all about getting my market orders in, just like you!!
I am on vacation mode, this week, as I work on soups for The Empty Bowls event on Thursday evening, and I am also getting ready for a big weekend, this coming weekend!!
Also, vendors who are low on product, will be back in full force in these coming weeks!! It’s a good, yet frustrating thing to be low on product, like the meats, but they are at the mercy of the processing, and have learned to be patient, while frustrated…
Ok, get on with your day, after you make a note of what to order!!
XOXO,
