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!
A Fond Farewell to February!
Tonight we get ready to say farewell to the month of love…the month of February!! And, to me, this is always the goodbye to the winter dreary, and hello, soon, very soon, to the springtime loveliness of sun, warmer days, and the onset of the growing season!!
Yes…goodbye to the dormant days, and hello to the oncoming vibrant days of growth, color, sun, and longer hours of lightness…
We have so much to look forward to but we also have so much to offer, you, now!! Take this time, up until tomorrow evening at 10pm, to get your orders in!!
Help us say, hello, to March, by placing an order that will help to greet the sunshine days!!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
