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!
Kept On Looking For A Sign...
Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll…
So, I hit the road and made my getaway…
Restless feeling, really got a hold
I started searching for a better way…
And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night…
(Climax Blues Band-Couldn’t Get It Right)
And, here is your sign….you have 30 minutes to get your weekly orders in!!
I was outside, this morning, as the sun was just starting to rise, and you can just tell that the air is a bit different, the trees look a bit different, and that lingering point of time of late summer moving into fall is upon us.
The early morning air reminded me of school days back in my middle school and high school mornings. I was either waiting on the bus, or waiting on a ride, but suddenly those days came rushing back, to me, this morning, and when I came inside, this song was playing, and it just all seemed perfect…
Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll…
Get your rock and roll on, and drift into your orders…
XOXO,
