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!
Special Market Pick Up, Today!
Hello, lovely customers!!
Today is market pick up, but I am going to start the pick up process at 3pm, instead of beginning at 4pm!!
There is rain in the forecast for 5pm, and Champaign Berry is coming with to set up, with corn, tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers to sell!!!
I want everyone, weekly customers, and non-ordering customers to have a chance to come out, and grab all that they have to offer, and rain will not be fun to do that!!
So, this evening…market pick up begins at 3pm, and plan to shop from Champaign Berry while you are getting your orders!! Also, if you missed ordering, this week, feel free to run out to the farm, during market pick up, and shop from Champaign Berry!
XOXO,
