OXFORD – The New Year is always full of resolutions. Some we keep, some we abandon. The folks at the Oxford Farmers’ Market have a suggestion for a New Year's resolution that is both easy to keep and super rewarding: Eat more locally grown and produced food this year.
It’s more nutritious, way more delicious, better for the environment and, best of all, supporting local farmers benefits our local economy and puts agricultural farmland back into use. One way to start is to read through your grocery list as ask if any of the items on it can be found locally before going to the supermarket. Then resolve to pick those items up from a farmers’ market, co-op or small grocery that carries local products.
Even in the depth of the winter, there is an abundance of food grown and produced by local farmers and bakers and home processors. Seasonal produce, including greens, storage veggies and mushrooms, cheese and dairy, eggs and meats, breads and baked goods, honey and maple syrup and jams, and so much more.
And all of that bounty can be found at the Indoor Oxford Winter Farmers’ Markets and through their mid-month Online Marketplace.
Stop by the Oxford Winter Farmers’ Market on Saturday, January 6, for their first Market of the the New Year,10 am to 12:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall of the United Church of Oxford, 16 Fort Hill Park (enter on Merchant Street, across from the Middle School parking lot). You’ll be starting the year off on a great footing.
