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!
Peaches, Part 2
Last night, I sent the market Weblog announcing that the Herrs would be bringing their fresh peaches to the lobby, this evening, at market pick up, for any customers who want to purchase.
I forgot to mention that they will also be at this Saturday’s Champaign County Farmer’s Market with peaches…
You can get them from tonight’s market pickup, you can go to the Champaign County Farmer’s Market, on Saturday, or you can come to the Mechanicsburg Farmers and Artisans market, as usual, to get their peaches and produce, on Tuesday evenings.
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
