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!
Stand By Me
When the night has come, and the land is dark…
And the moon is the only light we will see…
(Stand By Me- Ben E. King)
Well, little local market of love customers, we have arrived at that bewitching hour…the hour that is the last call, the last hour of the market for the week.
The night has truly come to a very busy day, a very productive day, for your market manager. I am trying to get my shop ready to throw open the doors. It amazes me how I can totally get lost in whatever I am doing, only to look at the time, and be amazed that an entire day has floated by.
You have this last hour to make your choices on the market. Place your orders, relax, and know that we are here, standing by you, making sure that we give you the best of the best. The Rock Stars Of Local…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
