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!
Give Them Love, Give Them Local Goodness
Not only is our market great for your weekly shopping, it’s also great for giving your Valentine, or Galentine, or fur babes, a taste of the local scene via gifts from our market!
Who wouldn’t love the thoughtfulness of a unique thought, on Valentine’s Day?
And, lucky for you, our market pick up day will be the day before Valentine’s Day!
Think about it…the gift of food, the gift of sweets, the gift of puppy treats, the gift of crafts, the gift of soaps/oils, honey, maple syrup…perfect!
Or…why not plan to make your sweet, a special Valentine breakfast, lunch, or dinner…you can get your components, all right here!!
XOXO,
