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!
Autumn Almanac
Breeze blows leaves of a musty-colored yellow…
So, I sweep them in my sack…
Yes, yes, yes, it’s my autumn almanac…
(The Kinks)
Perfect lyrics for a perfect week of autumn loveliness…
And, the perfect song to kick off another market week!!
AND…your market manager is back in action with breads AND a soup choice for the week!!!
Get in on the action, because it is now perfect soup and bread weather!!
The market has so much to offer, and so much to ease you into that comfort food zone, now that the days are ending early, and the evenings are crisp and cool!!
Go ahead!! Start your orders!!
XOXO,
