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!
Afternoon Tea
I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)
You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)
Like you talking to me
Because you ease my mind…

Oh hey…just letting you know that loose leaf tea was added, this morning, by ChrisMis Farm, for your sipping pleasure.
Also, this gives me another chance to remind you about getting your orders in! The market orders are going crazy, and we want to see your smiling faces at Thursday’s pick up!!
Ok…your market manager is headed out to her galpal dinner, at one of my very favorite restaurants, so get busy on your orders. I will be closing the market at 8pm, for the week.
