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!
Starfish and Coffee
“Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham”

Happy Sunday, lovely local market customers!!
Just a reminder to get those weekly orders in!! Sundays can get a bit crazy as they fade into a Monday, so why not make your market list, now?
I’m sitting with coffee, doing my own ordering, and listening to a few playlists I’ve put together. For some reason, I’ve really been into melding old Prince with Donovan tracks…anyway, this song popped on, and the lyrics caught my attention for the market…
For one…we offer maple syrup, jam, I’m sure there are some butterscotch something or others, and ham…
My main thought, though, is the jam…and, to let you know that Champaign Berry Farms just added SEEDLESS Blackberry Jam to the market!!!
Get excited, mix your own playlists, and dance it all out while getting those orders in…
XOXO,
