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!
Saturday In The Park
People dancing, people laughing, a man selling ice cream…
Can you dig it (yes, I can) And I’ve been waiting such a long time…
(Saturday In The Park-Chicago)
Well, I wasn’t in the park, today, but I did spend the entire afternoon, outside, soaking up the sun, because it was just THAT nice, outside!!!
I usually don’t bother you with a Saturday blog but there is an added product that I wanted to alert you to so that you can race and take advantage!
Champaign Berry Farms just added tubs of frozen blackberries!!! The warm day, the sunshine, and now the added frozen berries…I can totally dig it!!
Order while the quantities remain! Cathy also added a recipe for blackberry pie to the recipe section!!
Go, celebrate this sun drenched, warm, beautiful day, by ordering the last bit of berry sunshine to stock in your freezer!! Think of all you can make happen during the dreary months of winter with these in your freezer!!
Have an amazing rest of the day that is now taking us into a beautiful evening…
Peace and Love,
