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!
Rainy Days....
Hangin’ around, nothin’ to do but frown
Rainy days and Tuesdays (Mondays) always get me down…
(The Carpenters – Rainy Days And Mondays)
That’s right…it’s not Monday but it is Tuesday and it is supposed to be a rainy type of day, today.
Why not make the most of it and kick back, look at the market, and get your orders in? As of midnight, last night, this market is breaking a record for this time of the week, we brought in record amount of brand new customers, and we have so much to offer, and so many new vendors who seem to be joining us, weekly!
Take the rainy day and make it a day of sunshine…order, feel good about the local love, and feel good about the goodness that will await you on Thursday!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
