James Bigham, baker and owner of Bigham Artisan Bread, is preparing to celebrate his business’ 10-year anniversary at the Oxford Farmers Market this September.
Oxford Farmers Market
On My Plate: Lettuce
"Lettuce grew wild in Southwest Asia and was first harvested to obtain oil from the seeds. The ancient Egyptians domesticated it as a leafy food crop around 5,000 years ago."
On My Plate: Bok Choy
"Grown at 7 Wonders Farm are two varieties of bok choy, one large and one small. The larger variety, known in English as standard bok choy, has firm, broad, thick, white stems that taste sweet and crunchy."
Produce of the Year 2025
"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: Eggplant
"Every time I’ve written about crispy fried eggplant or eggplant parmesan, my cooking recommendations have changed."
On My Plate: Peaches
"The online arbiter of everything (AI, of course) defines the color peach as 'a light, warm color that blends pink and orange.'"
On My Plate: Sweet corn
"Corn dominates the rural landscape surrounding Oxford this time of year, but sweet corn for direct human consumption comprises only around 1% of it, according to the Ohio Department of Agriculture."
