Oxford Charter Township issued the following announcement on Jan 7.
Reminder -- Letters of support for proposed Oxford Farmers Market due by Monday, Jan. 10
If you’re in favor of establishing a new farmers market in Seymour Lake Township Park, please write a letter of support for the project and send it to Oxford Township Communications and Grants Manager C.J. Carnacchio. Please email your letters to ccarnacchio@oxfordtownship.org.
Oxford Township Parks and Recreation is applying for a grant to help fund the construction of a 40-foot-by-100-foot, open-air pavilion in Seymour Lake Park. This pavilion would provide a permanent, dedicated space for a new farmers market. The market would be open on Saturdays and run from spring through fall.
The new farmers market would:
• Make fresh, nutritious, locally grown food more accessible.
• Promote and strengthen local farms and businesses by giving consumers a convenient, centralized place to purchase their products.
• Foster a sense of community by providing a festive place to shop, socialize and forge relationships.
• Provide another outlet for distributing free, fresh produce harvested from Oxford's community garden to people experiencing food insecurity.
The proposed farmers market pavilion is expected to become a focal point for the community, a place brimming with life and bustling with activity, a place that represents the very best that Oxford has to offer.
