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!
Shiny Happy People!
Thank you to both vendors and customers, this evening, for making this an enjoyable and fun and laugh filled market.
You bring me so much love and pride, each week! Thank you for being you, thank you for your support in all things local, and thank you for your kind words, always!
Tonight, I bring you another market opening!! Let the games, begin!
Make sure to take full advantage of items like berries, apples, and the late season produce…each week, it will begin to fade, and you will not want to miss out!
Have a great start to the weekend, get your orders in, and we will see you, next week, at order pick up!
Peace and Love,
