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!
And So It Goes...
The market continues to build, we are now 8.00 away from a HUGE number that I would love to see blown away!!
I think I have been on the verge of tears, all afternoon, just watching these amazing numbers!!
I have chatted with both assistant managers, and we are beyond excited, grateful, and full of love!!
Keep it comin’…..we have until 10pm! I wonder if we will crash through even higher?
We Love You All!
