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!
Gimme Some Lovin'
Gimme some a lovin’, Gimme some a lovin’,
Gimme some a lovin’ every day…
(Spencer Davis Group)
Good morning, lovely market customers…just a reminder that it’s Tuesday, and the market will be closing for orders, this evening, at 8pm, for the week! Why not show us some good lovin? We love the love that you give us, each and every week!
If you need to rev it up, a bit, on this rainy, cold morning, find this song, and turn it up! Dance to it, sing to it, and I guarantee the best start to your day.
Back when I was working a little pub, of one of my three jobs, that summer in college, we would get ready for the evenings by blaring this song on the old juke box. The bartenders would be readying the bar supplies, while us waitresses would be getting tables ready for the always over crowded, always hopping place. It was sort of our bonding time before the crowds flooded in. Good times, great money, all heading into my savings account for my eventual California move.
So, crank it up, sit down with the market, and just go crazy…and give us all some good lovin…
XOXO,
