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!
It's A Beautiful Day!!
So, I have been having trouble with this Weblog publishing, the past few days. I lost a profound Mother’s Day blog post, a post about kickin’ around, feeling groovy, and a post about this time of year/life changes/some of my insights…
So, once again, in hopes of a blog going through the system, here I go…
It’s a beautiful (windy), sunshine kind of day. The kind of day that makes you smile, makes you thing of only good things and good thoughts…which should make you think of this little local market of love, the good things that come from it, the good things it stands for, and the beautiful way it brings us all together, where local blends with local to make local goodness.
The market will be open all day, and will close this evening, at 10pm. Don’t forget that we have very seasonal items, right now, to take advantage of!! Spring garlic, asparagus, fresh herbs…all are very, very time/season sensitive. Get those products ordered, pronto!!
I will check in, all day, on orders. Make me happy, make me smile, make it a beautiful day at our little local market of love!!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
