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!
She's Back!!
Tis the season…and, no, not the Christmas holiday season…it’s even better!!
It’s the start of asparagus season, and Beth, of Harrigan’s Harvest, is back with the loveliness of her local offering!!
As you know, this season’s length depends on weather, and availability! So, you must get your orders in, each week, as if it’s going to be the last, just so you can indulge in the short lived, but much loved asparagus season!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
