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!
Winter
And I hope it’s gonna be a long, hot summer
And a lotta love will be burnin’ bright…

Well, welcome back, lovely market customers!! We are officially back, and the market is opening for ordering, early today!!
Have you missed us? Did you have a lovely holiday? Are we ready for the winter portion of this market?
The market missed you, the vendors have rested, and we are all back to greet you!!
I’ve added new soups to brighten this month, keep you warm, and to keep you nourished…
I have been on the look for another lettuce vendor….we sadly do miss Kevin, and his amazing lettuce, but he is off in a new direction, and we wish him well!!
Have a lovely day, and a lovely ordering week in this first market of 2024…we are glad to have you back…
