Happy Sunday afternoon, everyone!

Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market will be open for ordering until Tuesday evening at 10 pm. Pickup will be on Thursday from 3:00 till 5:30 (note longer pickup hours). We have more variety than many large Saturday markets, and our items will be in your hands on Thursday! Instead of fighting the crowds and getting up early to search for what you want at the Saturday market, check out the wonderful products our local growers have for you, from the comfort of your own computer. We appreciate your support of your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items.
