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!
Market Pick Up with Champaign Berry!
If you ordered from the market, this week, it’s your pick up time, this evening!
And, even if you did not order, or are not a market customer, you can still come out, 4pm-6pm, and grab all the late season goodness from Champaign Berry Farm!
They will have sweet corn, squash, tomatoes, and potted sunflowers!!!!
Come out, and get your happiness!!
XOXO,
