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!
Hey, Hey, Hey!
Ok…your market manager has decided to keep the market open ONE EXTRA HOUR!!
The market will close at 9am, this morning!! It is our last market before Thanksgiving, so give that some thought when placing your orders!!
I am keeping it open, one more hour, due to the fact that we will be closed, next week, AND, some of our customers are returning from being gone, and all accounts needed to be reactivated…
I just want everyone to have time to get their orders in!!
See you at 9am…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
