Oakwood Farms Market

Have you visited Oakwood Farms Market yet? If not, make sure you stop by and check it out! 

Many of the product offerings are grown right on the farm at Oakwood University, bringing “farm to table” closer to home. Along with farm-fresh produce sourced from primarily local farms, the market offers health products, bulk goods, a smoothie bar, and a bistro serving delicious vegan and vegetarian options.

There are a few things that really set the market aside from others. For starters, they offer a huge selection of African and Caribbean items. Typically, one may find themselves traveling from store to store looking for such specialty items. Oakwood Farms Market has made securing these items so much easier and saved us all some gas in the process. I for sure am looking forward to picking up everything I need for our next Caribbean dinner night!

The next, and most important, thing that makes Oakwood Farm’s standout is the fact that it’s located in the Black Community. Black and Brown communities are oftentimes known as what’s called food deserts. These are areas in which people have difficulty finding affordable and quality fresh food. Physically planting right in the Black community helps alleviate/prevent those issues while connecting the entire Huntsville Community to the local farm. 

In addition to the physical market, Oakwood Farms Market also hosts a weekly Farmers Market. The market is every Friday and comes with a variety of vendors, food trucks, and even live entertainment.
