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!
Happy Thursday!!
As you all know, we have order pickup night, tonight, at this market.
Make plans, even if you don’t have an order to pick up, to swing by the lobby of the YMCA, tonight, between 4pm-6pm, for the Thursday Tasting by Swisher Hill Herbs!! They will be set up for product tasting, and products and gift sets for purchase!!
Joining in the fun MAY BE, Laura, from ELM Tree Essentials!! She is going to try to also be in the lobby with her gift sets of soaps for purchase!
Come get your holiday cheer on with some of our amazing vendors!!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
