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!
Here Comes The Sun
Little Darling the smiles returning to their faces…
(Here Comes The Sun-The Beatles)
Well, we’ve got the sun. It’s freezing cold, snowy, patches of ice, but I will take the sun!! Just the sight of the sun out my windows warms my soul, makes me smile, and helps me begin the countdown out of the winter mess of blues…
So, to celebrate the sun, why not take a bit of time, collect your thoughts, make a list, and place your market orders from the comfort of wherever you are. It’s easy, stress free, requires no bundling up for the grocery store, no fighting the winter crazed crowds. Just you, the market, your order, and then, done! All that’s left if zipping to the YMCA, on Thursday evening, to grab your order and head home.
Easy, fun, healthy, affordable…you will feel the sunshine your soul…
Peace and Love,
