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!
Put A Little Love In Your Heart
Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it’s getting late, oh, please don’t hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see
Another day goes by, and still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If we want the world to know, we won’t let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see, wait and see
Take a good look around and if you’re lookin’ down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see
People now
Put a little love in your heart
Each and every day
Put a little love in your heart
There’s no other other
Put a little love in your heart
We ought to
Put a little love in your heart
Come on and
Put a little love in your heart…
(Jackie DeShannon)
Thank you for always making Thursdays so lovely and filled with love!
Today was a HOT one!!! But we got everybody packed up, and on their way!
I love that some of you gave me song shout outs, today, and via messages! I’m going to start featuring them!
The market continues to add produce, and this week we will see Truck Patch Naturals bring us….mushrooms!!! Get excited!!!!
And, for more fun, next week, at market pickup, the Flourish girls will have an outdoor bloom bar set up to help you put together your own bouquets or pick your own stems! Bring extra cash so you can park, and buy your hand selected blooms!
Go, put a little love into all that you do…together, we make it all happen!
XOXO,
