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!

For What It's Worth...


LYRICS
Something happen in here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

It’s time to stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

Battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It’s time to stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray, for our side

It’s time to stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It hurts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the man comes and takes you away

It’s time to stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

Stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
(Buffalo Springfield)

This song implant came via email from market follower: Dennis

Actually, this song always makes me tear up because the lyrics not only spoke to 1967, but are always speaking to us, today, any day, any year…always something that can be applied to these lyrics.

The market is open. Your market manager had an XL glass of wine, last night, a great sleep, and a new determination, today, to just keep bringing the love…because, really, love and peace is all I strive to bring to you, each and every day.

Some of you may have noticed a big market clean up in the categories…I am still working on moving things around into categories that make sense, and make your shopping, easier.

Also…if you need to restock or add to your growing collection of face masks, I will be moving that category out of The Barkery, and giving it a Face Mask category.

Burns Bakery has returned from vacation!

Sending all the love vibes…

XOXO,
