Midtown Farmer's Market will re-open Saturday, May 5, 2012

The market board and vendors wish to offer our sincere thanks for your support of the Midtown Farmer's Market in 2011. The market had its best year ever, in terms of numbers of vendors and customer volume, thanks to you.  We look forward to seeing you again on opening day, May 5, 2012.

In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions or thoughts about the market, including what you enjoyed in 2011 and what you'd like to see happen in 2012. See below for information on how to participate in the market in 2012.

Music at the Market

 

Nearly every week during the market season, Oxford-area musicians entertain at Mid-Town Farmers' Market, always working for tips and produce. If you're a musician who's interested in performing at the market or if you'd like to recommend a favorite you'd like to hear here, please contact market board member Dave Spruill (dspruill 'at' juno.com).

Vendor & Volunteer Information

  • Vendor Application
  • Volunteers are needed each Saturday during market season, to help a farmer's market board member run the market tent. Duties include selling coffee, sitting in the shade, and meeting a bunch of neat people! If you'd like to volunteer, please e-mail volunteer coordinator and board member Betty Crouther (arpate 'at' olemiss.edu).

Thank you!

The coffee served at the market tent is High Point Coffee, roasted and generously provided for us by Right Bean Roasting, LLC. Please consider visiting their website to purchase coffee or learn about their retail locations.

 

Certification

The Midtown Farmer’s Market recently was certified by the Mississippi Department of Agriculture & Commerce as part of their Mississippi Farmer’s Market Certification Program. Essentially, the certification means that the Mid-Town Farmer's Market is getting official recognition for something that has always been central to its mission: It is a true venue for Mississippi farmers and food artisans to sell their locally-produced food. Some markets allow vendors who re-sell vegetables that they have purchased from wholesalers or other 3rd parties.  At the Mid-Town Market, you can always count on buying a Mississippi product from the Mississippian who made it.
