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!
Heart Of Gold
I want to live
I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold
It’s these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold…
(Neil Young-Song Implant-Customer Dena)
And, well, this market and the customers, along with the vendors, are so much the hearts of gold.
Thank you, once again, for a fantastic week of orders!! You love us, and we love you!
Tomorrow, my father is back in the house to help your other market manager, Mark, in the greenhouse, so that means, lets get crazy, and have no time slots!
From 4pm-6pm…come show me some love…and music…and, your heart of gold…
XOXO,
