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!
Monday, Monday
Monday, Monday, so good to me

Here we are, greeting a new week, a new day, and new round of ordering!!
Since I left you with my last Weblog, we have really seen a drop in our temperatures, the rise in the Super Moon, and the progression of this month of November.
Here we are looking at the middle of the month, just under two weeks away from Thanksgiving, and THIS WEEK BEING THE WEEK YOU WILL NEED TO ORDER ANY AND ALL ITEMS YOU MAY NEED FOR YOUR HOLIDAY DINING PLEASUSRE!
I hope that the use of my capital, yelling voice got your attention, lol. I just want to make it part of your thought process that this will need to be the week that you place orders, because our market will not be in operation during next week, the holiday week, since Thanksgiving falls on a Thursday.
You CAN contact the growers, personally, if you need to special order items that can only be purchased at the last minute for your holiday table.
Just don’t forget everything that our market offers, for your purchase, NOW, to stock your cabinets and pantries, in preparation for the cooking marathon that will come!!
Go, make lists, order from us…we make your shopping a local, happy, easy process!!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
