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!
Keep On Flourishing
Happy Saturday Afternoon!
Here is a word from our favorite duo, letting us know we can keep on keeping on with Flourish!
Hello everyone! Flowers beds have gone to rest for the season and we are changing our offerings. You can anticipate wreaths and greenery arrangements being added to the market soon. In the meantime we’ve added a couple new things. Our mini lavender bushes were a fan favorite so we brought them back but bigger this time around! They’re in 4” pots and can be beautifully keep inside this winter and planted come warmer days. + we have Christmas cactus for a limited time. These can be found in the live plan section of the market! We will be having poinsettias in soon, please email us at floralbyflourish@gmail.com if you’re interested so we can get enough! Tis the season!!!!
