An Oral History With Liz Stagg Of The Oxford Farmers' Market, Liz Stagg, Victoria De Leone

Oral History Interviews

Liz Stagg and her husband Frank Coppola owned and operated The Farmers' Market Store for 12 years. It was a small store in Oxford, MS that offered local produce, meats, dairy, and other food items. Her husband passed away in 2015, and Liz closed the store in October 2016. I was trying to understand how Liz saw her place in the community, and what drove her to open, and close, the store.
