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!
Happy 5th Day of July!!
Hey, now…the weekend is over, it’s still a bit of a jolt to go back to the reality of it all, and, it’s even harder to remember that it’s a Tuesday, since the holiday fell on a Monday!
BUT…the market would like to remind you that we close, this evening, at 10pm!!
Get back into the groove by making your lists, placing your orders, and going back to enjoy your week!! It’s that simple!!
AND…Champaign Berry Farms has added black raspberries!!!
However, we do have a few growers on vacation status!! Not to worry!! They are tending to their fields and gardens, and needed the time to get it all done!! They will be back!!
The time is now!! Think about all that you need, want, or desire from this market…
Peace, Love, Grooviness…
