OXFORD - The Oxford Farmers’ Market and St. Paul’s Bake Sale are held in LaFayette Park every Saturday morning from 9 to noon, from July through August. You never know who might show up as there’s no fee for vendors. You may find: blueberries, preserves, pickled vegetables, herbs, etc. It’s also well worth a visit to meet the farmers, get to select the best and freshest products, as well as keeping dollars circulating locally. Regulars were at the market on July 21, but there were a few really special demonstrating guests too.

Oxford entrepreneurs, such as Kim Marshman of “The Barnyard;” and Bill Brower and Nancy Morey, of “Shadeyside Farm,” all members of PON, set up their usual, exceptional displays, selling fresh produce and hand crafted wares.

Kim had fresh cut flowers, tender little yellow and green squash, baby cucumbers, heads of garlic, and big yellow onions. (Kim said that her sweet corn and tomatoes will be ready soon.)

Bill, “The Egg Man,” had fresh brown eggs from his flock of free-range laying hens. Some eggs are even blue or green from his Araucana chickens!

Nancy, a fiber specialist, had many fibers such as fine wool from their own sheep, kid mohair, cotton, silk, etc. all hand spun and hand dyed. Nancy also had Bullthistle Bounty Discount Cards for sale. With this $15 purchase, cardholders receive 10 percent off select items at 34 small, locally owned micro enterprises which include some members at the Oxford Farmers’ Market.
