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!
The Love Of Flowers
From Flourish:
We wish the sweet scent of peonies could last forever but this is probably the last week nature will provide-in celebration we are calling this weeks bouquet…
Strawberry fields forever- Sweet strawberry stems, Puffy Peonies, pink Snapdragons, darling painted Dianthus, Queen Anne’s lace, and fun foliage.
It’s Tuesday, and the market will close at 8pm, for this week.
Put a little love in your day…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
