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!
Lovely Lavender
Swisher Hill Herbs is gearing up for spring. As we welcome spring we start packing away those winter clothes for the season. If you like the more natural approach to moth proofing your closets and drawers, lavender is your friend! Lavender is a natural flea and moth repellent.
As I pack away coats and jackets I tuck Lavender sachets in pockets and in drawers with sweaters and blankets, I also rub lavender oil on unfinished wood closet shelves, I put drops of lavender oil in the corners of every room on baseboards and on carpeted floors.
Swisher Hill Herbs have information handouts with recipes and hints to help guide you. contact us swisherhillherbs@gmail.com
