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!
Born To Be Wild
Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace…

Just a Monday bit of music to get yourselves all revved up for another week of beauty, sunshine, and market fun!
Your market manager took Saturday and Sunday off from most things, so I did not pester you with weekend weblogs. We had a big Pizza Farm Friday, on Friday evening that ended up being a torrential downpour, so all of the guests had to hurry into the greenhouse, but they ended up having one big, huge fun party, in spite of the weather, and no live entertainment…and, my hostess skills went into overdrive to make sure everyone was happy had having fun because it’s much more exhausting to make sure everyone leaves happy, under the most trying of circumstances…and, hopefully, everyone left with a bit of fun, new friends, and a desire to return…lol.
Anyway, all that to say that I then baked for a small breakfast/floral class by our floral girls, Flourish, from the market, on Saturday morning, and then this chick, checked out…
Here we are on Monday, me downing coffee, and blaring music because I will soon be slipping back into the daily dance in a couple of hours.
Get your motors running, and your orders in for the week!
We were all born to be wild….
XOXO,
