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!
Thursday Invitation!
I bring to you a Thursday night soap event at the virtual market pick up…
Usually we do tastings but tomorrow night, your favorite soap maker will be set up to display her products, gift boxes, and more!!
Here is a word from Laura…
I am so excited to set up soap at the YMCA this Thursday during Virtual Market drop-off/pick-up time! Our amazing, oh-so-popular soaps and limited time gift baskets will be available for sale. We use organic oils and only use essential oils for the scents. This is a great opportunity to smell the various scents and meet the face (at least one of us!) behind the soap J I will also have our Tooth Powder for sale along with some samples for those of you that may not be ready to commit just yet! Give the gift of soap this Christmas…everyone uses it! Perfect size for stocking stuffers! Our customers truly love our soap…if you haven’t tried it yet, now’s your chance. Great for shaving with and some customers even use it for shampoo! Looking forward to seeing your lovely faces J
Blessings,
Laura
