We’re more than Canada’s Dairy Capital…although we are that too. The connections to our dairy heritage continue to run thick as cream and our local farmers are serving up
fresh ingredients that expand far beyond dairy.

Eat in tune with the seasons as you discover the bounty along our backroads. Explore rich culinary heritage with Dutch influences and our thriving Amish communities. From locally- raised bison meat and tangy cheddar to pick-your-own berry and veggie farms, sustainably sourced meat, maple syrup from a fourth-generation family farm and delicious local grains, you can fill your dinner table with Oxford’s harvest.

Shop our local markets to get to know our farmers and the passion that goes into the food they grow, raise or create. Enjoy juicy local sweet corn, bite into a crunchy apple or head out on our legen-dairy Oxford County Cheese Trail. A delicious taste of Oxford is never far away. If you prefer somebody else create the meal, several of our local restaurants continue to use Oxford’s vast array of local ingredients for fresher, greener meals, including Woodstock’s own Feast On certified restaurant, SixThirtyNine.

After a hearty meal, head out on a walk on one of the many trails in our Carolinian forests and wetlands. Stop by a farm stand to purchase fresh vegetables, grab a treat for a picnic or sign up for an Oxford Experience where you’ll get to meet a local food producer or maker and step into their world for a true taste of place.
