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!
Young Girl Sunday Blues
One side of me is filled with brightness…
no matter what I might say…
The days are made with waterfall colors…
(Young Girl Sunday Blues-Jefferson Airplane)
Another ode to Jefferson Airplane…and, it’s Sunday…and, I am always filled with brightness, rarely the blues, and, I really do view things in watercolor vibes…
I am just enjoying the ending to a fun weekend that was filled with old friends who descended on me, Friday night. A great weekend of amazing Bread Heads who flooded my shop, and an all around, feel good kind of couple of days.
I am ending my weekend with dinner in the oven, and a glass of wine in my hand. I am ordering from the market, and smiling at how good it feels to be able to order, locally, to know that I am getting the best of the best, and to know that I am shopping at my leisure, with an emphasis on nutrition and affordability.
Let us take you on an ordering adventure. You won’t be sorry. You will enjoy the ease and the products, AND, you can feel good about all of your choices!
See…nothing to feel blue about, here. Only watercolors and rainbows…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
