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!
New Morning
Can’t you hear that rooster crowing?
Rabbit running down across the road
Underneath the bridge where the water flowed through
So happy just to see you smile
Underneath the sky of blue
On this new morning, new morning…
(Bob Dylan)
Here we are, a brand new morning on a brand new Monday! And, a brand new week of market fun!!
As a reminder…the market will be closed, next week, as it will be Thanksgiving week, and we will not be running market pick up on Thanksgiving Day!
So, with that being said…get all the loveliness of the market that you will need for your holiday culinary needs!!
The market closes for ordering, tomorrow morning, at 8am, so you have plenty of time to think of all that you need!!
Let’s take advantage of this brand new morning, on this brand new Monday…
XOXO,
