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!
Looks Like Rain
Well, it looks like rain, and it feels like rain…
Oh it surely looks like rain…

Happy Monday…and, your manager is back from the Farm Elegance Dinner, Friday night, and ready for market action!
I just can’t tell what the weather is going to end up doing, today, but right now, it surely does look like rain, and this song has been rambling around in my head.
Have you placed your orders for the week? Did you have a lovely weekend? A lovely Father’s Day? I hope everyone got to enjoy moments of peace, love, and happiness.
This week, we see ChrisMis Farms on vacation, while we welcome a new vendor…Baked Batter!
Let’s get the market rolling into today, Monday, before we close orders, for the week, tomorrow morning at 8am!
XOXO,
