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!

Happy Thursday evening, market lovelies!
Just coming home after a lovely market pick up, (hot, but lovely), and I loved chatting with each of you!!
And, now, here I am putting this song implant into your head. Just a happy little tune. I actually had a hair appointment, earlier in the week, with my hair girl in Yellow Springs. I was her only customer, that afternoon, as she likes to book customers with plenty of time to just spend zenning out. Anyway, she picked a playlist of songs from that very late 80s to early 90s genre. This popped on, and we both started singing. They whole afternoon was just filled with silliness and music. It was a perfect couple of hours of escape.
Anyway…I thought it would be a fun opening song for the market ordering week!
Go ahead…turn it up, sing it, dance it…cause things will go your way…
And, this will be the last market before we close for the week of the Champaign County Fair!! Get all the goodness before the market takes a vacation.
I am putting all of my products, along with Hippie and the Farmer products, back on the market, now that I have a bit of breathing room from catering for a few weeks!
So, go ahead…get those orders in before you have to HOLD ON for a week of market vacation!!
I see that JC Growers just added their chem free spaghetti squash!!!
Ok…go ahead…start the party!
XOXO,
