Oxford Community Market — Local services in Oxford

The Oxford Community Market is a great place for locally produced food! This is in my top 3 favourite places in Oxford. You know that your money is going straight to the producer and you also get to know where your food comes from.

The market meets Tuesdays, from 3 to 6:30 year round. (Obviously there are more vendors in the warmer months.)

Many great local farms bring their amazing produce to sell. I've had the best watermelons of my life from this market, as well as some of the best strawberries. Okra, peppers, herbs, tomatoes...

Live music every week!

I usually go near the end. A couple vendors will set stuff aside for you if you make arrangements in advance, notably Poultry In Motion (whose potatoes, snap peas and cherry tomatoes...

Nothing beats Oxford Community Market. The freshest produce and baked goods, the kindest people, the best popsicles, eggs, vegetables, vegan baked goods and community feeling. Much more reasonable price-wise than farmer's markets in most of the country, this market brings food to everyone in the area. They accept SNAP and EBT, and work to bring nutritious, locally grown food to people throughout the community. We are beyond fortunate to have Oxford Community Market. And don't forget...
