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!

This Will Be Our Year


The warmth of your love
Is like the warmth of the sun
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come…
(This Will Be Our Year-The Zombies)

Catchy little tune to usher in the first market of 2019!! And, may I add a very heartfelt Happy New Year, and, a belated Merry Christmas! Hoping everyone had a lovely holiday!

Your market manager had the most lovely of holidays, and spent the day, today, taking down all of the twinkling lights cleaned off the dust, and made the house all anew, and ready to face what should be a very fascinating year!

So, with that all said, let’s get this first party of the year started!!

The vendors are all excited to be live, again, as well as your market managers! I am opening the market for ordering, tonight, but maybe keep checking back over the next two days, as vendors add product, but were just too hazed out in holiday mode to get it all done. And, by vendors, I mean me, your market manager…lol.

I will have all of my Hippie and the Farmer listings updated, and new product added, in the morning!!

What can I say? It’s been a long, long time since I let weeks stretch out, in front of me, with nothing calling my name…

Ok…go, order, check back tomorrow, keep showing us the love that you showed us for most of 2018!!

This Will Be Our Year!
XOXO,
