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
I’ll light the fire…
You put the flowers in the vase that you bought today…
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you…
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me…
(Crosby Stills Nash – Our House)
Same song title of last Weblog, very different genre…and one of my favorite songs of all times. It reminds me of the fall season, of comfort, of love, and I love knowing that Graham Nash wrote this for Joni Mitchell back in the day…
But, back to the fall season, and this song. Just imagine the cozy fire, the fall flowers in a vase, music playing, and the fall breakfasts, lunches, dinners being prepared in the kitchen…
Our little market of love can help with the foods, coffees, teas, spices, jams, syrups, meats, breads, eggs, honey, dairy, flour, vegetables, greens, seafood, cheeses to help in all of your fall needs for all of the fall goodness coming out of your kitchen…
Take some time, today, to grab a warm drink, make a list, and instead of heading out to a big box store, give our little local market a try…we have it all, and it’s all done, right here, where you live…
The market will close, tonight, at 10pm…get those orders in…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
