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!
The Market, Today!!
Happy Thursday Morning, little local market of love customers!!!
Just a quick note to let you know that if you placed an order, this week, or even if you did not, you may want to pick up that order as soon as we open at 4:30 or race to the YMCA lobby…
Because, for the first time this season, Harrigan’s Harvest is bringing us the first of her asparagus!! These very cold temperatures have forced her to get the first of the crop, out of the fields. She will be set up in the lobby, across from the market area. Get there early, she has limited quantity, and grab what you need!!!
If you have any questions, please contact Beth, Harrigan’s Harvest, directly, via our Grower’s section!!
Make sure to get the first of the crop, today!!
