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!
Market Announcement!!
Tomorrow at the market pick up area!!
We welcome Herr Family Farm, tomorrow, in the lobby, with their amazing peaches!! They are grown, locally, at their farm, in Mechanicsburg, and this season, they have excess to sell!! If you are picking up an order, make sure to stop by their table to grab peaches on the run!! If you forgot to place an order, you can still run into the lobby for the peach purchase!!
