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!
Updates and Additions
Your other market manager, just informed me that he updated the quantities of his eggs, the milk, and Ruthie’s Pies!
And, I just added a couple of new things to my Cosmic bag of tricks, along with the return of my roasted tomato season now that the tomatoes are busting out, all over, the Hippie and the Farmer gardens!!
Today is Monday, and you have until tomorrow morning, at 8am, to get your orders in!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
