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!
The End Of The Night
We are almost at the end of the market closing for this week!
I am going to keep it open for just a bit later, this evening, to remind you that this is the week you will be ordering for Thanksgiving, AND, that we will be closed, for next week, with a reopening, on Thanksgiving night.
Don’t miss out!!
Also, keep an eye out on new vendors who have just come onboard! They will be ready for the market when it opens, next time…
Get ready for sweet treats, granola, certified organic jams, and meats from Women Who Farm…they will be adding beef selections, now, and then goat and lamb in the spring!
Ok…I am closing the market at 10:30…happy ordering!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
