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!
Just Love
Would you allow your market manager to throw some love beams out to all of you? Would you allow me to embrace you in a deep group hug and sing you a sweet lullaby? The days have been dark, and I would just like to offer up a bit of our market love, to you. It’s all we’ve got. We’ve got us, we’ve got you, we’ve got hope, and we’ve got love.
Love…show it, be it, live it.
I open the market, tonight, with nothing but love, and unwaivering hopes for the future.
With love, we make the world go round, and we make our own community stronger.
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
