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 Update
If you plan to order asparagus, this season is going to be shorter than originally planned!!
Bet told me that it may only be around for another two weeks, due to these warm temps. coming on so quickly.
So, order up, enjoy, because this is a treat that only comes around, briefly, once a year!!
XOXO
