Tuesdays Starting November 30 at the Old Armory Pavilion<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since 2017, Oxford Community Market<\/strong> has showcased local farmers, food producers, and artisans at its annual Holly Jolly Holiday Market<\/strong> series, providing shoppers with locally grown and handmade options for holiday feasting and gifting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year the series kicks off from 3to 6:30 pm on Tuesday, November 30, at the Oxford Community Market, located at the Old Armory Pavilion<\/strong>. The series continues December 7, 14, and 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOXCM\u2019s Holly Jolly Holiday Markets are a long-standing tradition for our local food community. When we started the Holly Jolly series in 2017, our vision was to promote a real old-fashioned, meaningful, sustainable, and far less stressful way to celebrate the season while supporting our local farmers and food producers,\u201d said OXCM Director Betsy Chapman<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity for us to really promote hyper-local holiday shopping with everything at our market coming from no more than an hour and a half away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapman says that market-goers are always amazed by the abundance of local produce, market goods, and gift options this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what can shoppers expect to find at OXCM\u2019s Holly Jolly Market series? The market promises plenty of fresh ingredients for holiday meals: Beautiful local winter crops including sweet potatoes, pecans, winter squash, greens, lettuces, carrots, fresh herbs and more. In addition to abundant produce, shoppers will find assorted baked goods including cakes, pies, cookies, bread, and croissants. For holiday teacher happies, hostess gifts, and stocking stuffers, try local honey, freshly roasted coffee, herbal teas, or a cute gift-wrapped jar of homemade jelly. And for those holiday charcuterie boards, shoppers will find a lovely selection of pickled items, mustards, and unique jams.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The December 14th market will be extra special as it includes OXCM\u2019s annual Santa\u2019s Soup Bar<\/strong> fundraiser, featuring soups to-go from Oxford\u2019s favorite restaurants.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very excited about this event because last year we had to cancel our soup fundraiser due to rising COVID cases,\u201d Chapman said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funds raised will support OXCM\u2019s programs to improve access to healthy food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
