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!
A Word From Swisher Hill Herbs
Hello Virtual market customers. We feel the chill in the air signaling another season change. Swisher Hill Herbs has 2 more Saturdays and the Champaign County Farmers market will go into the record books for the year!
We are excited to be introducing a couple new products on the virtual Market this week. Just in time the Holiday season. Whole Nutmeg/nutmeg grater gift box set, (. 5 oz. of whole nutmeg in an amber colored jar and a stainless steel hand held Nutmeg grater). Look for it in the market Gift Sets section. Remember Gift packaging is Free! You can also purchase the .5 oz. of whole nutmeg separately in the herbs and spice section.
Take Thyme,
Joe and Charlene
