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!
The Rains Came
Locavores!! It got really super stormy and rainy, out there, this evening!!
If you were part of my vendors up at the Mechanicsburg Farmers and Artisans market, we all JUST made it into our cars after an amazing market!! The drive back to town was really dark and eerie.
But, home safe and sound, and sending out the evening reminder to get your orders in! This market is rain, shine, sleet or snow….we never close for weather. So, grab your lists, see what you still need to order, and get groovin’!
You have until 10pm, this evening. I will give you a last call, and then I will give you closing time shout out!
Don’t miss out on the fun…get your orders in, we are having an AMAZING market of high numbers, and we want to see your smiling faces at order pick up!!
Peace and Love,
