Hello, friends!

Happy May! This morning opens another week of shopping at Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market. The market will be open for ordering until Tuesday at 10 pm, and pickup will be on Thursday from 3:00 till 4:30. This year-round online farmers’ market offers eggs, herbal products, local honey, vegetables & greens, live plants, and pork products, all produced on local farms. We appreciate your support of your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items.

NEWS AND NOTES

FROM DOGWOOD VALLEY GREENHOUSE
As promised, we have listed our beautiful planters, baskets, and windowsill herb gardens for Mother’s Day, which will be this coming Sunday! We also still have lots of tomato plants and a few bell peppers left. These plants in gallon pots are large and strong and ready to set into your garden. We also have several new perennial friends flowering this week, notably astilbe, beard-tongue, pincushion flower, yarrows, gauras, and lavenders. The many types of ferns and herbs are all looking really nice. Another great gift idea for Mother’s Day is a gift certificate from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, available in any denomination on the market.

A SAMPLING OF ITEMS AVAILABLE THIS WEEK FROM OUR LOCAL FARMERS:






(L to R) Dwarf Red Carnation and Pale Pink Beard-tongue Plants from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, Ground Pork from Weaver Farms, Geranium Hanging Baskets from White City Produce & Greenhouses, and Open Range Brown Eggs from Wayne Diller.

Ordering will be open until Tuesday at 10 p.m., and your order will be available for pickup on Thursday between 3:00 and 4:30 at Square Books, 113 East Main Street, Manchester. We can also hold your order in the refrigerator till Friday, if it’s more convenient for you to pick it up then. If you prefer to utilize this free service, please make a note on your order or call my cell at (931) 273-9708.



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!



Blessings,
