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!
Let Your Love Flow...
There’s a reason for the sunshine in the sky
And there’s a reason why I’m feeling so high
Must be the season
When that love light shines all around us…
(The Bellamy Brothers)
So, your market manager is feeling extra love coming into this Monday morning, because her little trio from Florida were all here, this past weekend, with little babe Lennon, in tow!! My family was able to pull off the best surprise, on Friday evening, by having them here, and inviting all of the great grandparents, over for dinner, and letting them meet Lennon, for the first time!! Best surprise ever!!
So, yes…let the love flow…and, let your market orders grow!!
Did you see that much beef and bison has been added back to the market? And, so many other amazing items!!!
Let this market be your love light…that little love feeling you get when you shop local. For local products. At our local market. From your local vendors.
You have until tomorrow morning, at 8am…I just got my order in! Let’s all follow!
XOXO,
