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!
Piece Of My Heart
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, baby…
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good…
(Piece Of My Heart-Janis Joplin)
Well, we just put another amazing market in the books!! Thank you, so much, for making this little local market of love, your shopping choice!!
Each of us brings a special little piece of ourselves, to this market. The vendors bring their products, the customers bring their love, their story as to why they choose to shop our market, and the YMCA, to oversee us, and to make sure we all are able to run this market, efficiently.
If you love us, we thank you! If you haven’t tried us, yet, go ahead…place that first order. It’s easy, it will open up a whole new door for you, and, you will feel proud that you are supporting your local growers, farmers, and artisans. You get our hard work, our farm to market goodness, and you get our word that this little market will always stand strong on what we do.
It’s Thursday evening, I am now opening the market for another week of ordering, and we urge all of you to give us a piece of your heart…the market will make you feel good…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
