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!
Cold, Rain, and ??
What’s next on this mid day in June?
Let’s hope we begin to see a climb in temperatures, some sunshine, and some summertime fun!
The market is opening, again, for the week, and we say hello, to Kennedy Farms, with their seasonal produce! They will be adding things for the week!
We also have fresh cut flowers back on the market, and I saw them, this evening, and they are beautiful!
So much to order! So much to bring the sunshine back into your days!
Remember…as the season continues, more and more produce will be making it’s way to us!
XOXO,
