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!
Raspberry Beret

(Raspberry Beret-Prince)
Happy Monday, little local market of love customers!! I have been in an old school Prince music mode over most of the week, last week, and this song title seemed fitting for today’s market weblog!
Why? Well, because we have raspberries from Champaign Berry Farm!! I announced the red raspberries, and the blackberries, and now Cathy has put the golden raspberries on the market site!! My favorites!!! This week is limited quantities so order, quickly!
They have more to come, but if you want them, now, you need to rush and order!
And then go dig out your groovy Prince music…get your raspberry groove on!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
