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!
In The Midnight Hour
I’m gonna wait ‘till the midnight hour…
That’s when my love comes tumbling down…
(In The Midnight Hour-Wilson Pickett)
So, it’s not the midnight hour, BUT, we ARE in the last hour of this week’s market!!
Stop whatever you are doing, think about how we can help you shop, and place your orders!
We have talked about local love, we are getting ready for State Of The Plate, we have talked about the pleasure of cooking with simple, local products. We have talked about the nutrition, the affordability, the pride in shopping for your food, right here, right where it is grown and produced…
Take this last hour…show us some local love…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
