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 Is All Around
You gave your presents to me, and I gave mine to you…
(Theme song from, Love, Actually)
Hello, little local market of love customers!!
Your market manager is spinning the tunes of her favorite eclectic Christmas songs, and, right now, it’s Christmas Is All Around Me…and, the lyric that I chose IS all about presents, and well, presents for those special people are not going to just happen all by themselves…
That’s where our market can help!! Think about giving local goodness to those people on your gift list!! Think about ordering from our market for gifts, AND, for the items that you might need to get you through the holiday craze!!
Are you baking? Cooking? Grilling? Treating your pets? Stuffing stockings with fun, unique items? Looking for a gift certificate that can be used at this market? We have it all!!
All you have to do is sit down, in the comfort of wherever you are, and get to ordering!! It’s THAT easy!!
It’s Monday evening, and you have until tomorrow evening, at 10pm to get your gift lists ready!! Get your shopping list ready, get your grocery lists ready!! We even have new product from vendors!! We have Christmas specials!! We have boxed specials!!
Go ahead…Christmas is all around me, let the feeling show…(song implant, AND the thought for the day…)
