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


Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is now open for ordering.

  • This week we are happy to see the return of Frontier Family Farm vegetables – their green leaf and green oakleaf make excellent salads, especially in combination with their cucumbers and sweet green peppers.

  • What a bountiful supply of vegetables we still have available! White City Produce and Greenhouses still has lots of green beans, several types of peppers, pickling cucumbers, eggplant, mixed greens, okra, onions, summer squash, zucchini, and several varieties of tomatoes. Solace Farm has beets, carrots, and several types of garlic.

  • Doorstep Bakery French Sourdough bread and “Mad Hatter” jams make awesome snacks or elegant additions to any meal.

  • It’s time to think about what perennial plants your garden needs this fall. Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some beautiful fall-flowering anemone and aster plants just budding up nicely. Several varieties of the ferns, lots of herbs, colorful coral bells, and the gauras are beautiful in the fall.

  • The market also includes local honey, creamline milk, fresh-laid chicken and duck eggs, and other goodies from local farmers.

  • Check out all our offerings here.

    REMEMBER:
    • 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.

    • 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) “Mad Hatter” Three Berry Jam and French Sourdough Bread from Doorstep Bakery, Green Oakleaf Lettuce from Frontier Family Farms, Garlic leaf card set from Solace Farms, and Southern Maidenhair Fern from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.
