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!

A Note From Shire Farms
Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to let you know that some of our product packaging was damaged so we are putting those items half off. This applies to our cheddar and our jalapeno cheddar chicken bratwurst. The casing was not closed on either end, so they got squished. The flavor is still awesome though! These are listed on the market as “Not Quite Perfect Chicken Cheddar Bratwarts” and “Not Quite Perfect Chicken Cheddar Jalapeno Bratwarts”. If you have not tried them yet, this is the perfect time!
Also, Apple Butter is back on the market!
Thank you and have a wonderful week,
Nicole @ The Shire Farm
