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!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I know…I am late in the day but the sentiment is the same!!
Hoping you had a great day if you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!! I went out for a little bit of Irish fun, and now it’s time to let you know that the market will close at 10pm, tonight!!
Go, race, run….get those orders in before you miss out on all of the local goodness!!
You still have time…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
