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!
Message From Swisher Hill Herbs
Good Morning, market customers!
Charlene sent me this blurb about her products, the cold weather, and how they go together. She also is cross promoting with a fellow vendor in her blurb.
In the coming weeks, look for more blurbs, from the individual vendors, and what products they may be talking about for the week.
Today, we give the spotlight to Charlene of Swisher Hill Herbs…
Cold weather and Holidays are right around the corner! Time to stock up on Swisher Hill Herbs favorites and start warming the kitchen with the sweet aroma of hot mulled cider. How about Bearcat Chili, White bean chicken Chili, Nanas Chili , a large pot of Mediterranean vegie Soup or Meatloaf for dinner. Check your spice cabinet, need jar or refills of apple pie spice, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla beans (make your own vanilla). The Oberly Bros have Whole wheat flour to stock your pantry. Great for cookie baking. When you make your grocery list this week, shop the market first!
Thanks for the information!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
