More than a Market – We’re a Community! Located in Oxford, Mississippi, OXCM is a nonprofit organization committed to improving access to locally grown food through our weekly year-round farmers market and programs that address food insecurity by making fresh, healthy local food available to underserved communities.
Mary Queyja says
The Oxford Community Market is a wonderful asset to the Oxford and University communities lead by Betsy Chapman.
I shop there regularly for vegetables such as living lettuce, turnips, tomatoes, mushrooms, and eggs, flowers, small trees, etc. There different kinds of organizations volunteering to take produce to those who are financially needy, provide water and snacks, as well a musicians who enliven our shopping pleasure. Betsy also organizes the Library in providing local tasting events as well as training sessions on food preparation and saving. It is a remarkable benefit to us.

This is a wonderful market and Betsy Chapman is its tireless champion. Every time I go, I end up spending way more than I plan, and I’m always glad I do!

The Oxford City Market is a true local source of organic foods and more!!! This is by far the best family oriented farmers market that I’ve ever seen. The director, Betsy Chapman is a godsend who always goes above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate customers and vendors. My family and I truly enjoyed being a part of this market. Best way to spend Tuesday afternoons in Oxford, MS!

Betsy Chapman staged an infinite variety of activities to enhance the shopper of great local produce . Today we heard the amazing Effie Burt trio. We’ve had tree plantings and giveaways and music for each market day among other activities during the year including delivery to shut ins
and pie contests, as others too numerous to mention. The market is a treasure in Lafayette County.
Dee Russell says

Barb Gates says
It’s a great Market very nice environment and very clean! Great assortment of fresh garden vegetables and a lot of organic ! Great homemade breads salsa’s etc! Love the live music too!
Luke Fisher says
There’s great food, (mostly organic), from seasonal veggies and fruits, (thank you Lord for fresh peaches!!!), breads and other baked goods, (usually 3 vendors of savory, and 3 with various sweet breads), various picked-that-morning herbs and flowers, to honey, eggs, and even meat sometimes. We eat several meals a week just from what I got at the market, with plates full of food so local that I have become friends with the bakers/farmers/etc. who have made it. Also, the market works hard to be a part of the community, collecting and home-delivering free food for folks who are shut ins, can’t afford it,, and even just can’t connect with or cannot afford the bus fare. The market creates events for children, gets grants to pay for musicians, and does LOTS more stuff in and for the general community. The mission of the market is worth supporting even if I didn’t shop there. I literally can’t say enough good stuff about the market and its staff. Oh, and I forgot the popsicle vendor who makes her popsicles herself. I like the lemon hibiscus.
Kendra says
A big thank you to Betsy, our local farmers, market volunteers, the City of Oxford Mayor, Board of Alderman, the Lafayette County Board of Supervisors, community contributors, and everyone that makes our market so special.
Betsy says
This is my market, your market, everybody’s market – we are going to work as hard as we can to reshape our local food system to make healthy food accessible to everyone!
QUEYJA MARY says
