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!
This Is The New Year
This is the new year
We are the voices
This is the new year…
(A Great Big World)
Here we are, lovely customers of this little local market…we are just a few moments away from bidding the past year farewell, and ushering in what we can only hope is a kinder, gentler, calmer year.
I hope that you all have had a lovely time the past few weeks. Your market manager took time to unwind, regroup, spend time with my daughter, cater a couple of small get togethers, and now I am landing right back here…ready to take on the new year with our lovely little local band of vendors and customers.
One change to the market!!!
We will now close the market, each week, at 8AM, on Tuesdays, instead of 8PM….and new thing for you to remember, but we can make this work!! And, the vendors will have more time to get it all together for you, at market pick up!!
Also…you will know that my things and Hippie and the Farmer are in vacation mode. I will take everything out of vacation mode, tomorrow, but I am still working on new menu items, soups, and additional bread listings. I know, I know…but, I was busy during my time off…lol.
Happy New Year, my lovelies…we look forward to serving you in 2021! Also known as our 10 Year Anniversary Year as a market!!!
XOXO,
