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!
Showing Some Love
It’s Tuesday!! It’s show us some love day!! AKA…we close the market at 10pm, tonight, and we want to feel the love!!
The week has been a crazy weather week, both cold, dreary, sunny, and warm. It’s confusing to know how to dress, how to plan, and what to eat.
We have the part about what to eat, totally covered!! We have a large market selection to meet all of your needs!!
Everything we offer can lean towards the lighter fare you may want on the warm sunny days, AND, we have more comfort items on the cold dreary days when you need warmth, and fuel for your soul.
Go, take a look, remember that you can do all of your weekly shopping, right here, right now. When you shop with us, you keep it local, you keep it real, you keep it nutritious…
I will see you at 10pm…go on, show us some love…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
