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!
Christmas with Swisher Hill Herbs
It is hard to believe that there are only 3 more shopping Thursdays on the Virtual Market before Christmas.

We also do special order gift sets you order the products and we will gift wrap it for you at no charge! For more information call us at 937-653-8418. Take Thyme, Joe and Charlene Stapleton
