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!
Love Is All You Need!
There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known…
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown…
There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be…
It’s easy…

Tonight was a great market night! Like so many market nights, tonight just came together with vendors, customers, the YMCA, my assistants…
One big team, lots of laughs, lots of fun, lots of local goodness!!
I would like to thank so many of the vendors, and customers, who take the time to send special little messages with their orders, or emails as a vendor. Your kind words to us, and your appreciation, are why we do what we do, each and every week! You are important to us, this market is important to us, and the local goodness/scene/vibe are important to us!!
Get on board with the love…the love of local, the love of keeping it real, and the love of this little local market! We thank each of you…
I am opening the market for another week of fun!! We look forward to showing you another week of love, local, and fun…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
