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!

Monday Morning


Monday morning you sure look fine…
(Fleetwood Mac)

To me, there is nothing better than to blast this song on a Monday morning, to get the weekly groove started.

And, I took the weekend off after an amazing Pizza Farm Friday night, with quite a few customers and vendors in attendance! A good time was had by all, but after a night of dancing, and singing, and fun making, then, an early Saturday baking session, and then off to a Saturday evening in Columbus for a quick visit with my daughter, who was in for the weekend, your market manager was tired!!

But, back on my game, and noticing that you all have been keeping the market going, without me, with your orders!

I have been looking at all of them, over my coffee, this morning, and you make me so happy, so proud!

We welcome back our vacationing vendors, this week, as well!!

So, you have until tomorrow evening, at 8pm, to get your orders in!! Remember to take advantage of produce, now, because the season is blowing by so quickly!!

Happy Monday to you!!

XOXO,
