The South Oxford Farmers and Community Market is an initiative of the Low Carbon South Oxford (LCSO) Community Action Group (CAG).
We aim to offer an alternative to the ‘supermarket weekly shop’:
All stalls will be staffed by at least one person directly involved in or fully knowledgeable about the growing/making of the produce/product, who is able to answer customers’ questions about their products and their ingredients.
We also support the sale of locally-sourced second-hand products such as books and clothing.
We aim to offer an alternative to the ‘supermarket weekly shop’:
- selling ethically-produced local, seasonal and/or organic food and non-food goods;
- produced within a 30-mile radius of Oxford and containing a significant quantity of local ingredients and/or labour;
- Supporting Fairtrade or similar organisations;
- selling environmentally-friendly household products and packaging-free goods;
- supporting local enterprises that add substantial community value to the market.
- Addressing some of the challenges of our day: e.g. packaging, sustainability, food sovereignty, the local economy.
