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!
"Lettuce Celebrate"
Hi, there…Hello…Good Evening…
I just wrapped up another great market pick up, and now, I am back to open up the market for another week of ordering…
And, with this new week, we welcome, Davidson Family Growers with their amazing varieties of lettuce!!
I just wanted point out that Kevin provides heads of lettuce! In bags! So, you are getting fresh, crisp, unprocessed lettuce. He has many varieties, and he also offers several mixed heads, that come three heads to a bag!
For you lettuce lovers, you may want to up your quantity, since it will be different than the processed lettuces in the plastic containers, you are used to!
I’m so excited to welcome Kevin back to the market family!!
Now…show him ALL the love, and lettuce celebrate!!!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
