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!

Don’t you forget about me…

A little 80’s club music, anyone? A little Breakfast Club? A little reminder that we are still here, your faithful little market, waiting in the background, to all of your fair fun!!
You can still order from us!! You can even order from the fair!! Because, on Thursday, you may be very, very happy that you thought ahead and ordered some really super healthy, local food, to start the weekend, after the fair!!
Your market is open until 10pm, this evening!! Get ready, take just a small amount of time, and order!!
Don’t you forget about us because we never, ever forget about you, our lovely locavores!
The clock is ticking…
Peace and Love,
