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!
A Word From Stoll/Vernon Family Farms
Vernon Grass-Fed Lamb
It’s Easter soon and what a treat to serve Leg of Lamb Chops for your family dinner this year!
These chops are cut from the favorite part of the lamb. They are a thick cut and dense with a natural sweet flavor. If you like beef rib eye, you will love the similar taste of these chops. Use your favorite seasonings and an au jus if you like with roasted vegetables!
Remember to use a little good olive oil while cooking as these grass fed cuts are very lean and packed with meat!
We raise only Grass- Fed animals on our farms to capture the best nutrients and natural grasses for our animals to graze all year long!
2 per package with approximate weight of 2 lbs per package for $21.00.
Enjoy and have a blessed Easter!
