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!
Vacation!
Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away…
(The Go-Go’s)
Well, welcome back to all of you, after the market took it’s annual summer vacation, to give both you, and the vendors, a bit of time to relax…
And, as you are all returning to the market, I am leaving on a much needed vacation! I know, I’ve been scarce, this summer, but duty has called, just about every week, since June, with catering, and now…well, now, I am going to relax!!
I’m just coming off of my high school 40th reunion, from last week, so I thought I’d keep the 80s vibe going with this song implant, and well, it’s just such a feel good song to kick off a fresh new market week!
I am opening it up, early, today, because I will be in an airport, this evening, so take advantage, and begin that ordering!!
Pick up will be next Thursday evening! I will be running the market, as always, remotely, while Mark and my dad will be handing out your orders!!
I will see you all the following week!
XOXO,
