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!
Last call!

5 minute warning! Due to an opossum scaring the heck out of me on my trip to the coop, I’m giving you five more minutes! It isn’t an everyday occurrence so I thought that might be a lucky sign that you needed another minute! Hurry folks!
And as my dad taught me (totally unrelated but right for tonight!).
Raccoon in the ‘simmon tree,
Possum on the ground.
Possum says "you-son-of-a-gun,
Throw some of those ’simmon’s down."
