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!
Let's Work Together
Oh well now, come on you people…
Walk hand in hand…
Let’s make this world of ours…
A good place to stand…

One of my favorite tunes that I always forget about, and then it will pop up on my Pandora, and I fall in love with it, all over again.
Such a fitting thought for this little local market of love. If vendors, customers, and the community, all walk, hand in hand, not only does it strengthen our market, but it helps the whole local vibe.
And, don’t we all just want to vibe along, happily, making it all a beautiful place?
I am opening the market for the week!! Thank you to all who ordered, this week!! We seem to be adding products, weekly!! I urge everyone to try our market, just one time, for even just one item, to get to know us…we promise, you will find it a good place to stand…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
