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!
Another reason to order tonight...
This post expired on December 16, 2023.
While I know you don’t need one, if you needed another reason to order tonight, the market will be closed next week due to Christmas. However we will be open the week of New Year’s Eve. So, that means you had better “double” your order this week in order to prepare for the downtime! Any questions, be sure to let us know but after the market closes tomorrow night we will reopen after Christmas! Have a super evening and have fun with those last minute tasks!
