OXFORD - April has finally arrived, which means the Oxford Winter Farmers' Market will be celebrating its final indoor market of the winter season with their Annual Community Seed Giveaway this Saturday, April 5, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fellowship Hall of the United Church of Oxford, 16 Fort Hill Park (Merchant Street entrance, with parking at the Middle School across the street).
The Market’s Annual Community Seed Giveaway helps to ensure that no seed goes unplanted. In addition to the seeds being shared and given away, supplies and assistance, many thanks to Jessica Henninge and family, will be on hand for children to plant seeds in potting soil that they can then take home with them to watch grow. Bring your extra seeds if you have them or just come browse through the seeds that others have brought to share. There are always more than enough.
Vendors will be offering early cold hardy plant starts for the garden, local produce; cheeses and other dairy products; eggs (while they last); fresh baked breads and cookies; local maple syrup and honey; jams and jellies; and beautiful handmade artisan crafts. As well as a lunch available to eat in or take out made by Daya’s Indian Kitchen, and live music performed by folk fiddler, John Potocnik, and pianist, Kathy Shimberg.
