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!
What's The Story, Morning Glory?
Today’s the day that all the world will see

Good morning, Happy Monday, time to wake up!!
It’s Monday, and, as you know, you have until tomorrow at 8am, to get your market orders in!!
So many things to choose from, and so much local loveliness!! It’s so easy, it’s so fun, and when you leave with your weekly orders, you can feel good about all of the products you are taking home!!
I am sitting with coffee, working on my own ordering for the week, and listening to this song, on one of my favorite albums.
Fun fact…when I first moved to this area, so many years ago (I originally was here for two years, beginning in 1999…lol…and, I never left) I briefly started a little word of mouth baking business called, Morning Glory. It was a muffin baking business, that was short lived, but also, it planted the seed that one day, I would have more time and vision…and, look what happened…
Anyway, have a lovely day, get your orders in, and I will see you on Thursday, if you are picking up your order!
XOXO,
