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!
Monday Morning
Monday morning you sure look fine…
(Fleetwood Mac)
It looks like a full day of rain, ahead, but that doesn’t need to dampen your spirit, or squash your excitement for ordering!!
Happy Monday, lovelies…I hope you had a lovely weekend!! The weather was so nice, even with the winds. I worked on flower beds, planted in containers, at my house, and got herbs ready to plant for Hippie and the Farmer, at the farm, where you can begin seeing them in their herb boxes at market pick up. I spent time with one of my best pals from high school, baked for customers, and enjoyed a free weekend of nothing.
I hope you are feeling recharged, and ready to face the week. And, I hope that this little local market of love can provide you with the ease of ordering all the local goods that you have come to love without the hassle of shopping inside the stores.
Have a great start to your week!
XOXO,
