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!
She Loves You
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
With a love like that
You know you should be glad…
( The Beatles)
She, being me, and yes…I love you all!
Tonight was one of those nights where there was enough time for me to mix and mingle with so many of you!
I love the songs you threw me, the conversations, the classic car, and the general bond that has formed!
This market, it’s vendors and it’s customers, never cease to amaze me!
We seem to have woven a thread of hope, of support, of friendship, and of fearlessness, that warms my heart!
You all are the heart and soul of this lovely market, and I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah…
I can hardly wait to unveil the tunes that you all gave me, tonight!
The market is now open, and we would love to make your week an easy one…
XOXO,
