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!
I And Love And You
I and love and you…
I and love and you…

(I And Love And You-The Avett Brothers)
Three simple things…three simple things that are all about this market, except add We for the I…but, I love you, too!
Today has been one of those days that followed one of those days. But, in the end, after decisions, after soul searching, after peacefully trusting all that I am, and after being loved by my circle of closest friends/mentors/everyone who makes up my tribe…I am ending the day knowing that all is fine. I had supportive people, arms that hugged me, words that said they understood me, and love that knows no bounds from this lovely little tribe I call my circle.
I feel that in any given situation, you are given choices to get through it. When faced with a decision, I knew in my heart what I needed to do, but it took that one ingredient…that all encompassing ingredient of love from all who matter, to make me know that I am ending the day on a peaceful note with a peaceful mind.
In any situation you need all of the ingredients to make it all work. Finish the equation. Make all parts whole. This is what this market is all about. All of the parts work together. We unite in love. We bring that love to this market. Our customers feel that love, and show it right back to us…
It’s a groovy thing, my loves, when this equation all works. It’s like when you are deciding on your orders, you make your decisions, you put your trust and love in our market, and we are eager to give it right back. The perfect equation.
I and love and you…
The market closes at 10pm, tonight! Think about Easter, think about any upcoming Spring Break needs, think about all of the love that you need from us…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
