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!

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)
On a winter’s day (on a winter’s day)
I’d be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)

On such a winter’s day…

So, yes…we have our January snow, and it’s all pretty, and it was sort of nice to be house bound, yesterday, but now I’m all about sunshine, thoughts of spring, and thoughts of quick melting of the snow.
I am a one snow for the season kind of girl! Plus, my furnace went out, over night. Plus, I’m cold…not helping with my desire to flee for warmer beaches, places, fun…
So, to pass my time while waiting for my furnace guy to return my text, I am going to order my weekly items from the market! How about we all have a moment of ordering. I mean, what else are you going to do?
I’m just sitting here, dreaming away…
XOXO,
