Market News


Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is now open for ordering. Vegetables, plants, eggs, herbal & handmade products, popcorn & granola, desserts, & sunflower seeds are available this week. Take a look at our offerings and support your friends and neighbors who produce these quality items on their own farms. Remember: ordering will close on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

We have some additions to the products on the market this week:

  • Casey Family Farm has added a “special” – order two half-gallons of creamline milk, and you will pay a discounted price.
  • Fresh-Cut Zinnia Bouquets from White City Produce & Greenhouses
  • Several new herbs, fresh-cut at the farm, from a couple of our farmers.
  • Summer Bibb lettuce from Frontier Family Farms
  • Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has updated their availability list, and added some new types of lavender plants. It’s still fine to plant if you take care to water new transplants frequently and deeply.
  • Are you late planting your vegetable garden this year? No problem! Dogwood Valley Greenhouse also has is selling a good assortment of vegetable plants for the Trail Life group (similar to Boy Scouts) in Manchester. These fund-raiser vegetable plants are in good potting mix in gallon pots. The boys have tomato plants for $5 and pepper plants for $3, noticably less than the big box stores. The tomatoes are very big and strong, with some flowers. The peppers are somewhat smaller but very healthy. They have several different varieties of each. To order, e-mail me directly. I will deliver orders to this week’s market.
  • Don’t forget to watch in the next couple of weeks for the addition of products by two new farmer/producers.
