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!
Asparagus!!!
It’s that time!!
Beth, of Harrigan’s Harvest, is dropping off 22 pounds, this afternoon!!
If you are a market customer picking up orders, you can ask Mark to add it to your order! Bring extra cash, or write your check, for the additional amount once he tells you how much! If you are a card customer, he will add it to your total!
If you did not order, this week, you can still come to pick up, between 4pm-6pm, just for asparagus! Cash and carry!!
It will be a few weeks until we get more, due to the cold weather, so grab it now!!
Oh, and please welcome Carla, from JC Growers, at pick up! She will be assisting Mark!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
