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!
Jet Airliner
Ridin’ along in this big ol’ jet plane
I’ve been thinkin’ about my home
But my love light seems so far away…
(Steve Miller Band)
And, really…where else would your love light be, besides right here at this little local market of love??
It’s Tuesday, and I am actually heading out on the road, myself, so my day is crazy packed with obligations, but wanted to remind you to order before 8pm, this evening.
Also…a note from Kennedy Farms letting you know that this will most likely be the last for their tomatoes, but may still have some San Marzano for sauce making! Also, this will be the last week for their flowers!!
Man…where did the season go, so quickly??? Take advantage of the seasonal produce!!!
Ok…and as the lyrics say…
I’ve got to keep on keepin’ on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin’ around…
And, the market orders continue to groove…
XOXO,
