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!
Look Of Love
That’s the look that’s the look… Sisters and Brothers…
that’s the look that’s the look… should help each other…
(ABC-Look Of Love)
I remember being a club kid back in the early 80s. This song would be on overdrive, lights flashing, lots of groovy dance moves, lots of bad 80s fashion. But, what a fun time it was!! The excitement, the adrenaline, the non-stop energy…
Much like our own look of love on the local front!! It is an exciting time to be a part of this local movement!! It is an exciting week as we prepare for the upcoming State Of The Plate!! Our local faces will all be on display, products will be used in all dishes for the lunch, our local speakers will have their 15 minutes of fame, we will embrace the amazing local love! We hope to spread the excitement, we hope to introduce you to the look of local, and we hope continue to go full steam ahead in this amazing little local market!!
Let’s make this a total Look Of Love, Look Of Local Week!! Let’s rock the house, the dance floor, the community…show your love and your support but placing just one tiny order!! Let’s see if we can beat our record, this week!!! Give me even more to report and speak about on Sunday…as I let my passion shine for all things local!! Let me tell the 200 people about the amazing customer support and how we decided to shatter the ceiling with a new record for this market!!
Local Love…The Look Of Love!
Peace and Love,
