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!
A Sunday Kind Of Love
I do my Sunday dreaming, oh yeah
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day…
(Etta James)
I can’t think of anything more perfect than playing a bit of Etta James, on lazy mornings, or any mornings, while enjoying a cup of coffee, flipping through magazines, or books, or looking through this little local market of love, and slowly getting my orders all together, for the week.
Getting my market orders in mean that I don’t have to concentrate on trying to last minute shop, in big box stores…I get local, flavorful, and good for you items, all at my fingertips. All the while, sipping coffee, listening to tunes, looking out the windows, and loving that even as restrictions begin to fade, from this past year, I still don’t need to be out with the masses, and can enjoy peace, quiet, and ordering.
Enjoy another sunshine fueled day…
XOXO,
