Oxford, Actually: Food for Thought
Oxford's food scene is about more than restaurants. This week on Oxford, Actually, Chase Parham and Raegan Settle record live from Chicory Market for conversations about local groceries, farmers, food access and the people working to strengthen Oxford's community. Chicory Market's Sadara Evans discusses the store's recent expansion, its partnerships with more than 75 local farmers and foodmakers, specialty products, grocery affordability and new offerings for students and families. Then Oxford Community Market director Betsy Chapman joins the show to discuss her years leading the market, programs that make fresh food more accessible, partnerships with local food pantries and the community's extraordinary response to January's winter storm. Chapman also previews the second annual Hometown Hootenanny on November 29 at The Lyric. Plus, Chase and Raegan discuss the news stories in this week's The Daily Mississippian.
