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!
Good Evening!
Hello, lovely customers!
What a confusing week, confusing times, and me, trying to make sense of what to do!
We can not operate out of the YMCA, and I didn’t want to close the market down, so this has been on my mind, trying to cobble something out!
Here it goes… for the time being, the market will open, as usual, operate on the same time frame for ordering, you will place your orders, just normally, via the market, and it will close, as usual, Tuesday evening!
The only difference is that your pick up point will be at Oakview Farms, 1645 St. Rt. 54! The same pick up time as usual!
The other difference is that all payments will be done, on site, since we do not have cards on file!
We think this will be a great option to continue the continuity on a weekly basis!
Paul gave us his thumbs up, so with that, we are live!
Thank you!!!!!!!!
XOXO,
