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!
Anchor Acres!
Just a reminder that Laurie will be set up, out in the new drive through part of the market, with all kinds of fun plants, on hand, for your purchasing fun!
Hippie and the Farmer will also have a few plants, for sale, as well…
It’s the perfect time to get your garden needs, all in one spot!!
XOXO,
