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!
Monday Morning
I’ll be there if you want me to
No one else that could ever do
Got to get some peace in my mind…
(Fleetwood Mac)
Hello, Monday morning!!
Just a little song lyric to put some groove into your morning, and, well, it is Monday, this little local market always puts some peace in my mind, and, finally…I am coming off of a mini reunion weekend with my group of besties from high school. A 42nd mini weekend of too much fun, friendship, laughter, cocktails, memories, and going back to where it all began, taking back that town, and then leaving it, and our group, behind, again, knowing we are all there if one of us needs the group to be there. Just like this market…we are always here for you…
So, with all of the love, and laughter that I am coming away with…
Monday morning, you sure look fine…
ALSO…Please check out the produce that is flooding the market from JCGrowers!!!!!
It’s seasonal, it’s local, and it’s all the best!!!!!
XOXO,
