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!

Happy Thursday Market Lovelies!!
Just a reminder that if you ordered from the market, tonight is your weekly pick up, 4pm-6pm, at the site of Oakview Farm Meats, 1645 St. Rt. 54, Urbana!
Just like last week, there is no need to leave your car!! I will be getting your boxes together, in the greenhouse, and can see you pull in, and you can either call me at 937-926-4833, or, if the line is not too long, just wave to me, and I will be right there.
Prepayments are great, and if you would like to do so, you may call me, today, with your information. Or, you may hand me a check, or your money…exact change, also, greatly appreciated!
If you would like to enter the retail shop to do extra stocking up on items, please adhere to our one customer, at a time, policy, and please stay within the designated spot, while Mark, your other market manager, will get all that you need!
Again…you have moved me to tears, this week, as you did, last week with your orders, and your kind words…
The market will reopen, this evening, for our next round of ordering fun…
Thank you, for loving us…
