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!
A Christmas Wake Up Call!
That’s right…it’s Tuesday, and it’s the week before the Christmas weekend, and that means you need to get your orders in before 8am, this morning!
The market will then tuck in for it’s holiday nap, for a few weeks, and you want to make sure you are stocked up with goodness!!
Also, FYI, while the market is in sleep mode, you can still visit the shop, at the market site, Oakview Farm Meats, to stock up on most of your favorite market vendors’ products!! The shop will be open for the holiday weeks, so you can stop and still feel good about getting market goodness!
Ok…I’m off to finish my own orders…are you with me?
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
