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!
Shining Star
Honey, you are my shining star…
(The Manhattans)
This market, our vendors, our customers, the YMCA, the amazing product…
ALL of this, all shining stars! And, without you, our star would not be shining as brightly as it is now.
As your market manager, I want to thank you, all of you, for helping to make this market the success that it is, each week.
I am opening up for the week, and encouraging everyone to get their orders in, try us for the first time, or, return to us, if you’ve been gone. You will learn what our weekly customers already know…that this market is nothing but a shining star…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
