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!
Dancing In The Moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight…
They don’t bark, and they don’t bite…
They keep things loose, they keep things light…
Everybody was dancin’ in the moonlight…
(Dancing In The Moonlight-King Harvest)
So, what a crazy, busy, fast paced life this past week was!!! My baking was never ending (a very good thing!), everything that I am involved in needed attention, or was so busy, or took me in all directions…but, you know me, and you know that I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I would get home, each evening, go out to my back deck with a glass of wine, and just relax in the beauty that has been the moon, these past nights.
This song always makes me smile, makes me think of summers of my growing up, and I sing it to myself every time there is an amazing moon to watch.
The lyric that I chose not only makes me sing, but it reminds me of the love that I feel, each week, with this market. Everyone shines so super bright, nobody is uptight, we all move and groove like a big family, and we try to keep it all as light and easy for you as we can!
It’s Sunday…we have amazing, amazing selections on the market!! Make sure to take advantage of local, of nutrition, of affordability, of ease…
You will feel like dancing in the moonlight…
I would also like to welcome back so many long lost customers, this week!! I am seeing your orders pop in, and your names make me smile…
Do the local dance…place your orders…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
