Farmers' Markets Report June 27 - July 4

Here is what you can expect to find at local farmers’ markets this week. Things do change due to weather and other factors, but as of the time of this post this is what the vendors at each market think is likely they will be bringing this week to market.

Oxford Uptown Saturday 7am – noon
Uptown Oxford

Last week I overhead one of our farmers say that we may have tomatoes in 2 weeks. He has 150 plants with small, green tomatoes. I can’t wait. So if the weather stays warm with just enough rain…..
Just as the gardens are producing more we will soon see more farmer vendors at the market. So stop by tomorrow for all the usual produce; organic eggs, organic meats, lettuce, goat cheese, plants, cucumbers, summer squash, zucchini, strawberries, cherries, backed goods, and our usual artisans.

Today and tomorrow in Uptown Oxford we are having the Oxford Wine and Art Affair. 3:00 to 9:30. We will be having a ton a fun. Stop by the market tent. See www.oxfordchamber.org for more details.

Last week one of our shoppers stopped to renew their membership. They also wanted to give extra $20 to sponsor a SPROUT membership. I thought it was a great idea and we found a wonderful family that benefited from their generosity. See the details at: www.oxfordfarmersmarket.com/node/75

See you at the market Saturday and Tues for our Mini-Market.

Bergefurd Family Farm - Due to the cooler than normal spring and first week of summer the overall growth and maturity of our berries, melons and vegetables has been and is very slow and harvest is being delayed due to these cool temperatures. However, with this slow growth our crops size is larger and the sugars in the fruit are much higher, for under high temperatures sugars are burned off. This we experienced from our strawberry harvest, one of the sweetest crops this year. We are winding down strawberry harvest; we may have a few to bring to market? Harvest of blueberries has begun on a limited scale and we hope to bring some to market. Snow pea and snap pea harvests are increasing. We are hoping to bring some early red beets and radish. We continue to harvest a few pickling cucumbers and slicing cucumbers and hope to have enough to bring to market. Harvest of yellow squash and zucchini continues on a limited scale.
