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!

Kodachrome


Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, oh yeah…
(Paul Simon)
Song Implant from market customer, Kathleen…

Good morning, market customers, on this bright and sunny Tuesday morning!

This song just seems to scream summertime fun, with the groovy beat, the lyrics of brightness, sunshine, happiness…much like I hope the market has been doing for you, all summer long!

The market is full of brightly colored produce, a whole lot of greens, and, we get the golden back with another round of market roadside sweet corn from Champaign Berry Farm, on Thursday, and, to also brighten the week, they have added their sunflower arrangements to the market, this week!

We have richly colored tomatoes, in all colors, peppers in many hues, and the list goes on…

Please take a minute to get your orders in because the market will close, this evening, at 8pm, for the week!

Here’s hoping you have a colorful, groovy day, lovelies…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
