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!
Revolution
You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world…
(The Beatles)
Well, market lovelies…we are doing it, each and every week…starting our own local scene, local food revolution.
Last night, I watched as the orders continued to come in, and watched as we shattered our highest record of two weeks ago.
Your market managers are so proud to be your ever humble band leaders in this whole local food revolution, evolving the scene, forevermore…and, our vendors, my gosh, those vendors, you can’t lead a rock star band without the stars, and let me tell you…rock stars, they are.
So, we are open for orders until 10pm, this evening!
How high can we get, today?
Rock on, babes…rock, on…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
