Noshing for “Locavores”
The New Oxford American Dictionary chose the word “LOCAVORE” as it’s 2007 word of the year. Why? Because a “locavore” is one who seeks out locally produced foods, and it’s a growing movement!
Starkville’s solution for the locavore taste of choice is the Starkville Commmunity Market. This open-air event held each Saturday from May to October in downtown Starkville is in its second year of operation, boasting rave reviews from area residents and growers.
The Market offers shoppers a great opportunity to get locally-grown produce and hand-crafted items straight from the growers and crafters, many using organic techniques. The open-air format makes it great fun for the whole family. Dux D’Lux has been honored to work with SCM to produce Market tshirts, cloth grocery totes and even some wooden $5 coupon coins! (Yes, I said wooden–the kind the local hardware store gave your grandfather back in the day.)
Please come out and support the Starkville Community Market (or look for a local farmer’s market in your area). You’ll find great food and crafts, and use your dollars to support local growing enterprises!
When: every Saturday morning through Oct 17
8:00am – 11:00am
Where: South Lafayette Street – Downtown Starkville, MS

Our advice: Get up early! The homemade bread goes fast!
