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!

The Beat Goes On


And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da…
(The Beat Goes On-Sonny and Cher)

Because I woke up, singing Sonny and Cher songs, because Cher was my idol, back in the day, and because this lovely little market of love continues to go on…beat by beat, on and on, each week reaching a crescendo, louder than the previous week!

So, on this early Saturday, will you be joining our market’s beat? It’s early, it’s cold, it’s snowy…what better time to take some time, on our site, deciding what products are needed to keep your week’s beat going…

La de da de de, la de da de da…

And the beat goes on…

XOXO,
