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!
Our House
Our house it has a crowd…
There’s always something happening…
And it’s usually quite loud…

Cue the 80s club girl in me!
But, really…I have come to view this market, this weblog, this local family, all part of a happy home. And, while fun, and rowdy, and always promoting the local front, there are always those pesky housekeeping tasks that need to be done.
So, tonight, this message goes out to the lovely customers AND vendors of this little local market of love…
First up…we need updated information!! Address and phone number updates are now needed to keep us all organized, and in the know!!
I have noticed that I am getting outdated addresses and phone numbers no longer in use. And, while are updating those, or at least checking those, take a look at any other information that may need updating.
Vendors…update quantities of product, please! The customers want to order but sometimes we get a tiny bit behind on the updates!
