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!
It's Magic!
It’s magic you know…
Never believe it’s not so…
It’s magic you know..
(It’s Magic-Pilot)
The weekend…the weather…simply magic!! Well, a little too cold on Saturday, and it did rain on Friday, but, hey…today…today was one of those magical, glistening, clear skies kind of day!! Magic…where the whole day just keeps unfolding to show another layer of goodness. Of magic…
The kind of day that is perfect for adventure. The kind of day that is ready for anything. The kind of day that keeps you and out and about…seeking nothing but fun.
It’s Sunday, the market has been open all weekend, and will remain open until Tuesday night at 10pm!
I urge you to load up on all things, well, when I say ALL things, I REALLY mean…ALL THINGS. We have it all, and more will continue to be added!
Right now, we would like for you to take advantage of the produce, and berries! Seasonal, you know, not around for a whole long time…take advantage, now!
We now are once again able to offer you both Organic, AND NON-GMO layer mash!! It’s from Jim Karg of Rocky Ridge Farms…you are loving his eggs, so why not grab his organic and non-gmo mash!!
Duck eggs are now available from Anchor Acres!!
Raspberries will continue but the black and the golden berries are in short, short duration…if they are on the market, get them, pronto!
Look through the rest of the market…we boast a large variety of all local products!! You love us, we love, you…let the magic begin!
Take a bit of time, get your orders in, and then see how easy your week will become. Just like magic…let us take care of it all…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
