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!
Sweet Corn and Summer Squash!!
YES!! Champaign Berry will once again be at market pickup, today, 4pm-6pm, or until supplies run out, and will have 1/2 dozen, full dozen of corn, and their squash!!
You don’t have to be an ordering customer, this week, to drive out for your sweet corn/squash needs!!
Also…the market will be on vacation, next week, so get it while you can!! It makes a great addition to your fair week, as well!
XOXO,
