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!

Good evening, little market of love customers!! Hoping that this finds you happy, ready for the weekend, and finding your kind tide…your mellow place…your Lovelight…
Lots of groovy phrases to say that your market manager will be checkin’ out for the night, tomorrow night, to truck to Columbus, for the Dead and Company show. So ready to catch the vibes…so ready to revisit a real show with the core members.
While I am planning the perfect twirling ensemble, baking bread, working my magic, and seeking out Shakedown Street, the parking lot scene, and ultimately, the show, I want you all to be thinking about what you may need from the market, this week…start making your holiday list of food needs. We’ve got it all, just for you, just to make your life easy in this upcoming busy weeks.
Get groovy with your orders…I love seeing the love that pours in…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
