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!
In The Midnight Hour
Hello, good evening, good morning…we are on the cusp of both as I open this market, rather late, this evening.
The week has been crazy, the day has been crazy, and I just walked in the door. A bit before midnight…
So, here’s to you, this market, and the amazing vendors who bring us the most amazing products!
Your market manager is heading to dreamland. In the midnight hour…
The market is now open…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
