"Before naming the 2025 produce of the year, I want to give a shout-out to all of the vendors at Oxford Farmers Market, and a reminder that it is held every Saturday throughout the year."
On My Plate
On My Plate: Fruitcake
Everybody loves fruitcake. Rather, everyone loves making fun of fruitcake this time of year. It typically ranks in surveys among Americans as their least favorite Christmas food.
On My Plate: Ginger and Turmeric
Turmeric gets my vote for the most polarized edible item I’ve ever featured here.
On My Plate: Turnips
Turnips have been much maligned since ancient times, and are widely used to hurl verbal insults.
On My Plate: "Pumpkin" Pie
Pumpkins make their appearance this time of year, between Halloween carving and Thanksgiving pie.
On My Plate: Downing Fruit Farm Fall Festival
Visitors can walk or ride in a horse-drawn carriage amid the farm’s 2,500 fruit trees.
On My Plate: Apple Varieties
From Golden Delicious to Monroe apples, fall arrives early this year.
