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 Little Local Market Of Love
It’s what we are all about, it’s why we come here, to shop, it’s a way of eating, it’s a way of living…
Keeping up the love on the local front continues to get easier and easier, through our market.
I am opening the market for the week, and I just want to tell the vendors, the customers, my assistant managers, and the YMCA, how much you all fill me with local love!!
Let’s keep the lovelight shining…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
