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!
Rainy Days and Thursdays
Almost a song implant, just the wrong day…
But, don’t let the rain get you down, because it’s market pick up day, and that’s always a happy day!!
Thank you, so very much, for making this another stellar week of sales!!! The market, it’s vendors, it’s managers all love you for it!!
There are a lot of you, for pick up, and the weather is dicey. There WILL be time slots, tonight, because it’s going to take a bit longer for me to be inside, and outside, delivering to your cars because of the rain. And, I don’t want you all to have to sit in a traffic jam in the rain.
So….A-M 4PM-5PM
N-W 5PM-6PM
If you are going to be a Friday pick up, please let me know, if you have not already done so, or if you are not a regular Friday pick up!
If it is raining hard, I may be delivering out of the front door of the retail shop. Thank you, so very much, for your patience!!
XOXO,
