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!
Enough, Already!
I know that I speak for all of us when I say…please just take these freezing cold days and give us some rays of sunshine, some warm breezes, and a hint of spring like weather…haven’t we had enough??
Apparently not since I am sitting here trying to get warm in layers of clothing and a glass of wine.
Well, until we get through this, let our little local market of love warm you up, light your fire, be your ray of sun!
I am opening the market, tonight, take the next few days to think about what you need, what you want, and how we can make that happen for you in the best way we know how…
Have a great evening!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
