It's Time to Order from Manchester Locally Grown Farmers' Market


Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is now open for ordering. This week’s market news includes:

  • Frontier Family Farm has listed some new vegetables on the market! You will find salad/slicing Cucumbers,“Carmen” sweet green peppers, and “Better Boy” table tomatoes. All are raised hydroponically and organically (uncertified).

  • El Man’s Seeds will be on vacation for a short time. We will let you know when he returns.

  • There are plenty of other summer vegetables available on the market. Your family can eat very healthy meals in summer, all from local trusted sources!

  • PLEASE do not write out your checks ahead of your market pickup. Growers can sometimes remove items at the last minute, affecting your invoice. Please wait until your total is established at market.

  • We continue to hear from customers who are sure they have placed their orders only to find nothing waiting for them at market. REMEMBER — If you do not receive an order confirmation within 5 minutes, your order has NOT been placed in the system. Try logging back in and see if there is anything in your cart. If so, press the Place Your Order button; then you should receive an e-mail to confirm the order. E-MAIL tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com OR CALL US at (931) 273-9708 if the problem persists so you will not be disappointed on market day.

  • 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.

(L to R) Lotion bar from Solace Farm, “Tenderette” beans from White City Produce & Greenhouses, Coral Bells dark red/purple with pink splashes from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, “Carmen” sweet green peppers & salad/slicing cucumbers from Frontier Family Farms.
