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!
Come Together
Just a short and sweet opening market Weblog for this evening!
Tonight, at the market, I was reminded of how special our little community is, how special this little market of love is, and how it all just works when we all…vendors, customers, YMCA, community, all come together in this little local adventure!
Much love and many thanks!
The market is now opening for the week! Over the next few weeks, you will see vendors coming and going in this busy season, and you will see returning seasonal vendors AND additions of new vendors!
Thanks so much for coming together and helping us grow!
A big shout out to Herr Family Farm! It was a peachy kind of night for them! If you missed out on peaches, tonight, you can find them at The Champaign County Farmers Market, on Saturday, or at Tuesday’s Mechanicsburg Farmers and Artisans Market!
Happy Ordering!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
