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!
A Visit From The Sugar Shack
The Stadlers will be in the house, and out of the Sugar Shack, to bring us a sweet filled tasting, Thursday night, during market order pick up!!
A word from Shary Stadler…
Valley View Woodlands, one of our local vendors, will offer tastings of their delicious products during this week’s Thursday market hours. Tastings will include maple syrup, maple cream, and maple candies. These maple products, which make great gifts, will be available for purchase.
