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!
Flourish Update
As colder season is amongst us we are losing some blooms and trying to be creative with what we can add to the market as we move forward including plants.
However for this coming week we have a few updates we were hoping could be sent out!
This will likely be the last week for our zinnia bundles and lavender bundles. However we have added some more speciality flowers for a limited time including dahlia and astrantia bundles.
Thank you to Flourish!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
