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


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

With the cooler temperatures comes a new selection of cooler season vegetables from White City Produce and Greenhouses, Solace Farm, and Frontier Family Farms. Be sure to check them out. Some will be available for only a short time longer.

What awesome baked goods we have from Basically Breads and Doorstep Bakery. These two bakeries are both newcomers to the market in the last couple months. Give their goodies a try!

Weaver Farms pork products have also been added in the last few months, and definitely deserve to be added to your menu this week.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse reminds you that now is the ideal time to plant all perennials: cooler temperatures will develop strong root systems for good winter survival rates and prolific spring bloom.

Herbal bath & body products, local honey, fresh-laid chicken & duck eggs, and plenty more products are to be found on our market.

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.

    Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, all of our growers, local food, and our right to eat it.
