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!
Flowers In Your Hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair…
(John Phillips-writer/Scott McKenzie-singer)
What better way to both welcome the girls of Flourish back with some pretty spring floral selections, AND, give you the last reminder of the week to get your orders in!!
I will still see you all on Thursday, before I leave on Friday, and I hope to see all of you, and your smiling faces at pick up!
I will be monitoring, and running the market, as per usual, while I am away, but your co-market manager will be running the whole show, next Thursday!
My products will all become available, again, when I reopen the market, next week, on April 22!
You have until 8am to still get your market love…thank you for always showing the market such amazing support!
XOXO,
