Oxford farmers' market winds down
OXFORD – The Oxford Farmers’ Market is preparing for one more Saturday morning in LaFayette Park from 9 a.m. to noon. The forecast for Saturday of 74 degrees and sunny is “picture perfect,” so there shouldn’t be any obstacles keeping Promote Oxford Now members, Kim Marshman, of The Barnyard, and Bill Brower, of Shadeyside Farm, or you, from being there.
Marshman will be bringing her sweet corn, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, red and yellow onions, garlic, potatoes, peppers and beautiful assorted floral bouquets, all grown on their six acre Oxford farm. Cory and Karly, Marshman’s trusty young assistants (and progeny), have even provided curbside service when requested. (Just honk!)
Brower will have his trusty cooler filled with dozens of fresh brown eggs and green eggs from his Araucana chickens. All of the Shadeyside flocks are free-range laying hens. Bill will also have an assortment of rainbow dyed yarns to choose from. Nancy Morey, his wife, is the fiber specialist, and has made Shadeyside’s name well known for its many fibers. They produce fine wool from their own sheep, kid mohair, cotton, silk, etc. all spun and hand dyed. It’s perfect for holiday stocking stuffers or even knit stockings (or hats or mittens, or ….)!
