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!
Happy Monday!
Hoping you have all had a lovely weekend, and are refreshed and ready for the week ahead!
I am in Florida, celebrating my grandson’s first birthday, but will see you all at the market on Thursday!
Also, a few announcements!
We have a new vendor, ABCD Woodworking with beautiful charcuterie boards! Perfect for parties, and gift giving!
Also, we welcome, The Great White Pumpkin with their selections of pumpkins, gourds, and winter squash!
Sadly, we say goodbye to Davidson Family Growers, and I am now back to looking for a year round lettuce producer!
This market has so much to offer, so let’s get our weekly orders in, and I will see you on Thursday!
XOXO,
