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!
Come On Get Happy!
Hello world, here’s a song that we’re singin’…
Come on, get happy…
A whole lotta lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’…

(The Partridge Family – Come On Get Happy)
Can you feel the love that I have for this little market of love? For the customers, the vendors, my assistants, the YMCA?? Yeah, we’ve got it all going on….and it shows!!
This market is just one big happy love fest…you feel it happening, each Thursday. The relationships, the products, the trust, the commitment to local…we bring it all, just for you, just to make you happy!
I open the market, tonight, after another great market week. Let’s continue the momentum, let’s continue our pledge to local, and let’s continue to make us all happy…
Stay warm, stay amazing, and have a lovely weekend…
Peace and Love,
