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!
Hip, Hip For The Holiday!!
Well, here we are…ready to usher in the holiday weekend that leads us to all that is lovely!!
School is out, graduation is over, grad parties are underway, vacation planning goes into full swing, and the golden, lazy, hazy days of summer come rambling in. Officially, not until later in June. Unofficially, we are already there.
I know that your weekend will be packed with fun, or relaxation, or full of events!! But, take a little down time to get your market orders in for this seasonal amazing goodness that comes to you, each week, via…LOCAL!!
I wish you all the best vibes for the weekend!!
XOXO,
