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!
Tuesday Thoughts!
Your market manager has had a crazy busy weekend, and now week. One of those weeks that leaves you wondering if it’s Tuesday or already Friday!
One of those weeks where I need to be here, when I need to be there. I need to finish this, before I finish that. I need to pass GO another fifty times.
Yes…..it’s officially that crazy time of summer.
So, to calm myself, I am pouring wine, putting on some music, lighting candles, making dinner, and leisurely placing my weekly market order!
Doesn’t that sound perfect? A bit of time to and you whole, again.
And, as I am passing on this zen attitude, don’t forget it’s Father’s Day!! Make sure to order farm fresh foods for serving on dad’s special day, or pick gifts of food love from our market!
Everyone….deep breath, exhale, soft music, and mellow thoughts….of this little local market of love.
Give love, feel love, be love….
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
