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!

It’s the same story that the crow told me
It’s the only one he knows…
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go…
Ain’t no time to hate… barely time to wait…
Oh oh-all I want to know is where does the time go…
(Uncle John’s Band-Grateful Dead)
Good morning, little local market of love customers!! It’s Tuesday, it’s the last day of May, AND, it’s the last day of the market for ordering, for this week!!
Your market manager is back after a very much needed long weekend, away, at a Grateful Deadesque music festival! It’s tradition, for me, to pack up, each Memorial Day weekend, hit the road, meet up with my best pals, set up camp, and just let the music guide us for 3 days. It always recharges my soul, it fills me with love and friendship, and it puts me back in touch with me.
After I return, I am always ready to greet my crazy paced life, once again, and show everyone the love!
Just like the lyric, I posted, the holiday weekends always throw us off, a bit. On the drive home, yesterday, my friend and I were going through our usual recap of the weekend, and I muttered, where does the time go?
So, with a song in my head, love in my heart, and a bit of a wild soul, I am dancing into this new week, and groovin’ into the market to place my own order. Won’t you come with me?
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
