The Midtown Farmer's Market to continue through the end of October...



The Midtown Farmer's Market in Oxford, MS will continue to sell produce through the end of October.  (The official city of Oxford website says it ends in September - confusing!)  A few vendors continue to sell produce on the regular market days: Saturday mornings 7am - 11am and Wednesdays 12 noon to 5pm.  Check it out if you're in town and get your hands on the freshest local produce!  I buy nearly all of my vegetables from Bost Farm.  The Bosts come from Water Valley, MS to sell their fresh garden vegetables at the Midtown Farmer's Market.  Their selection generally dictates my menu, so we eat a lot of squash, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers and onions.  The market also all most always has Brown Family Dairy milk and a big truck selling fresh seafood from the Gulf.  The milk is divine, I have yet to try any of the seafood.  For more information, visit the city of Oxford website's page about the market.  If you've never seen the big sign for the Market, it is located in the parking lot of the Midtown shopping center on North Lamar Boulevard.  It is in the same parking lot that is shared by such favorite local spots at Big Bad Breakfast and Snack Bar, and the shopping center is across the street from Volta Taverna.
