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!
Every Picture Tells A Story!-An Asparagus Story
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong I could be…
(Rod Stewart)
And, why was I not complete?
Because I have not yet had the first of the season asparagus!!
That’s right…it’s now on the market!!!
The first of the season, Harrigan’s Harvest asparagus!! Get excited, and get your orders in because the season is short, and the bundles go quickly!!
Complete yourselves, now…stock up!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
