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!
Last Call!
So, I’m just sending out a little reminder that the market will be closing in a little less than a half hour!!
It’s pretty much exploding, and I would hate for you to miss out, this week!
Just like in my early days of working in pubs to earn cash for moving to California, I am turning up the lights, blaring, New York, New York on the juke box, and making my rounds, gathering glasses, and asking if anyone needs anything else before they have to leave…
Here is your New York, New York moment…
Last call…
XOXO,
