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!
Sugar, Sugar!
Like the summer sun…
Pour Your sweetness over me…
And, you got me wanting you…
(Sugar-The Archie’s)
This morning, I was outside, having early morning coffee in the brisk chill, on my front porch.
I like to see the sun coming to it’s morning entrance, between loaves of baking bread. This morning had the sun peaking up from the edge of a cloud, it’s rays were those giant kind of rays, and I immediately felt happy.
Happy for the sunshine, happy that it made me smile, made me love the day, love where I live, and love the whole local scene.
What it’s all about…the goodness of local, the sunshine feeling of this little local market of love, and what it means to buy, sell, live the local life.
Today is Tuesday! Find your local sunshine in this market, place your order, and bask in the warmth of keeping it all local.
The market closes at 10pm, tonight…let the sun shine!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
