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!
Champaign Berry Farm
Good morning, lovely customers!!! And, a HUGE thank you, to all of you, who helped to skyrocket this week’s market, after our week off, last week!!
We missed you!!!
Also…a note from Champaign Berry…
Tomorrow, during market pick up, (for both ordering customers, and non ordering customers, and anyone who wants to drive through)…
Cathy will be set up, 4pm-6pm, with sweet corn and peaches!!
Both are sooooo good!!!! You may want to think ahead as we look into the coming months, about getting all the corn and peaches, that you can, to start getting ready for those winter months (ugh…not ready for that) but, think of the loveliness of grabbing corn/peaches from your freezer or canning supplies, for a pop of summer in the middle of winter.
She is also offering half bushels of peaches for 35.00!!!! If you are interested in purchasing the half bushel, you will need to let Cathy know, ahead of time, you will need to call or text her at…
937-232-7525!!
And, she accepts cash and cards!!!
Excited to see you all at tomorrow’s market!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
