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!

Lovely Day


And the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it’s gonna be
A lovely day…
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day…
(Bill Withers)

I was in Columbus, last night, having dinner, and I looked at my phone, quickly, to see I had received a text, from one of our dearest market customers, and someone who has become very dear to me, over the years (as all of you have become) and she sent me the song she was listening to.

I thought what a lovely song to start this lovely Sunday morning…put it on your playlist, and you will agree.

It’s been a busy weekend, for me, filled with old high school friends, in town, yesterday, as we spent time in downtown Springfield, at Indie Craft (you can still go, today, with many more bands performing, food, and craft beer everywhere). I loved basking in the sun, going down memory lane, laughing, loving their faces, and watching not only all of us coming together, again, but also the downtown community of Springfield all working together, and all of the crowds just doing nothing but loving and listening and grooving…

All the concepts that I always hope to weave into this lovely little market, right here…

It’s Sunday, and it’s perfect for ordering!

Asparagus is only here for a short time, Kingdom Fish have their microgreens back on along with their lettuce and swiss chard!!! And, they have much more to come!

Brighten your soul with a bouquet of flowers, candles, oils, soaps, beautiful woodworks, designs from Be Bright Designs for fun tshirts for this warmer days…the list goes on and on!

So, my lovelies…order up!

Enjoy your day, it’s such a lovely day…

XOXO,
