The Oxford Farmers Market will be celebrating Pepper Day on Saturday, September 8, 2018, from 7 a.m. until 12 noon. We are located on the corner of McClanahan and Lanier Streets in Oxford. Everything we sell is either homemade or homegrown by our vendors, so you know exactly where your items are coming from.

We will be serving a breakfast casserole to all our customers for as long as it lasts, along with having some pepper sampling. If you’ve wondered how various peppers taste, now is the time to find out. Our farmers will be happy to explain the various ways these peppers are used.

We will also have an array of apples, purple hull peas, potatoes, okra, butternut squash, Italian squash, eggplant, string beans and a variety of herbs and peppers. You’ll also find Gus’s famous chocolate meringue pie, pecan, old-fashioned chess, German chocolate, and other pies, along with various breads and cookies.

Vickey will have various jams, jellies and pickles, along with dried apples. These make great items for gift baskets. Couple this with items from our craft department, and you have a one of a kind gift for the school or college student, or for that special someone.

Miss Judy will have a diverse selection of plants, along with her fresh floral bouquets. These brighten any room that you put them in. Since she is a Master Gardener, she will be glad to help you with any fall landscaping project.

If you are coming in from I-85, take Exit 206 into downtown Oxford. Look for the sign at CVS. Be sure to celebrate Pepper Day with us! We look forward to seeing you there.
