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!
The Weight
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it’s time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she’s the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone…
(Putting the grooviness of, The Band, into your day…)
And, while you are searching your playlists to get this song implant into your morning, don’t forget to get your orders in for the market!!
We close, for the week, tomorrow, at 6am, and you don’t want to miss out on all that we have to offer, to get you through the weight of these cold, cold days.
Also, we welcome a new vendor, Karen’s Heavenly Fudge!! She just got her listings up and running, so if you would like to indulge…she’s got it all for you!!
Have a great day, put some music into your step, and groove the market…
XOXO,
