It's Time to Order from Manchester Locally Grown Farmers' Market - Welcome to Basically Breads


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

Welcome to Basically Breads from Manchester. Look for her sourdough, cinnamon Amish, banana nut, zucchini, and apple cinnamon breads on the market very soon.

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. Now is the ideal time to plant perennials: cooler evening temperatures (and daytime too!) are helping these plants to develop good sttong root systems for good winter survival rates.

What a bountiful supply of vegetables we still have available! White City Produce and Greenhouses still has lots of green beans, pickling cucumbers, eggplant, mixed greens, okra, onions, summer squash, zucchini, and several varieties of tomatoes & peppers. Solace Farm has beets, carrots, and several types of garlic. Frontier Family Farms has bibb and green oakleaf lettuce, which make excellent salads and wraps.

Our other farmers have some great products for your consideration:

  • Doorstep Bakery French Sourdough bread and “Mad Hatter” jams

  • Weaver Farms pork products

  • Herbal bath & body products, local honey, fresh-laid chicken & duck eggs, and plenty more 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.
