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!

Good morning!


This post expired on December 16, 2023.

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a fun weekend with lots of wonderful time spent however you needed! I needed mine to be more productive but sometimes that just doesn’t happen, does it? Anyway, I hope your holiday lists are getting completed and checked twice so you can just relax and enjoy the snow which just doesn’t seem to stop!

Just a reminder to note the date… December 16th… as if you needed it! Did you ever think about how easy it is to shop with us? No two-week notice for us! We only need two days for shipping our products with free local delivery! And it really isn’t shipping but more like “running them over” because our vendors are all local.

How cool is that? You have access to fabulous local gifts, goodies and more, right here in your neck-of-the-woods! You go online, place your order by Tuesday evening at 8 pm and vendors deliver it to you on Thursday evening at a convenient, well-lit and safe location that is easy to find and is full of happy, smiling people! I can’t think of an easier way to shop!

For stocking stuffers to the most beautiful ham I have ever seen, we have so many options! (I don’t want to disappoint you but we have nothing for sale that flashes, beeps or needs batteries! Isn’t that a relief?) Be sure to think of us when thinking about your holiday meals and gift giving. We have all you really need! Some of our items are already in gift boxes. Who knew?

Have a great day and please think of us when planning your next two weeks! We appreciate you!
