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

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

I thought it appropriate this week to take a quick look at how much this market has grown in the last few months. Here are the new farms and products which have been recently added:

Basically Breads sourdough and cinnamon Amish breads

Casey Family Farm local creamline milk

Doorstep Bakery French Sourdough bread and “Mad Hatter” jams

Frontier Family Farms green oakleaf lettuce, arugula, and spinach. The latter two are new this week.

Steve’s Bees local honey

Weaver Farms pork products

Thank you for supporting and encouraging local farmers, and in the process, feeding your family healthy local foods.

All the summer vegetables are still available, but will be winding down soon: green beans, pickling cucumbers, eggplant, mixed greens, okra, onions, summer squash, zucchini, beets, carrots, and several types of garlic, tomatoes & peppers.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has lots of healthy perennial plants for your garden. Now is the ideal time to plant perennials: cooler evening temperatures (and daytime too!) will help these plants to develop good strong root systems for good winter survival rates and beautiful blooming next season.

Herbal bath & body products, fresh-laid chicken & duck eggs, and craft products are also available 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) Arugula and Spinach from Frontier Family Farm, Creamline Milk from Casey Family Farm, “Mad Hatter’s” Plum-Cherry Cordial Jam from Doorstep Bakery, and honey from Steve’s Bees.

We’ll see you for pickup of your order on Thursday between 3:00 and 4:30 at Square Books, 113 E Main, Manchester. We can also hold your order in the refrigerator for you till Friday morning, if that’s more convenient for you. Just call (931) 273-9708 if you prefer to utilize this free service. Square Books will be open on Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, all of our growers, local food, and our right to eat it. Please encourage our local farmers by helping to spread the word about our wonderful market to everyone you know. Nothing makes a farmer more excited than seeing new customers on the market!
