NEWS AND NOTES

Don’t forget to contact Macks’ Mushrooms if you would be interested in ordering his mushrooms with a one- to two-week delivery time.

Welcome back for the spring season to Tami at White City Produce & Greenhouses. She sends this message:
Only 2 weeks left to sign up for our Spring CSA. New on the market this week, cool weather veggie plants and salad bowls!


Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has listed several nice Easter gifts and decorations. They also have some very early blooming perennial plants. From Linda:
Are you looking for something different for the Easter baskets this year? Check out the Easter herb baskets, Easter egg planters, and succulent planters from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. A single herb plant would also make a nice addition to a gardener’s basket. Let me know it will be a gift and I will foil wrap it for you at no additional charge.


Remember to look for wonderful early spring vegetables, delicious pork, beef, and chicken cuts, dried herbs, rich creamline milk, organic free-range eggs, raw local honey, jams and jellies. Please take note of our great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, bath & beauty products, and house and garden plants.



Stop by Square Books soon and see our MLG Table, with lots of non-perishable farm products for sale. Pick up some honey, jam or jelly, hand lotion, herbal tea, or a basket of herb plants to enjoy this winter.


(L to R) Flowering Almond bush from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, Salad Bowl and Fresh Apple Mint from White City Produce & Greenhouses, Open Range Eggs from Wayne Diller, several designs of Crocheted Doilies from CnG Outdoors & More.

Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, and your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items. Please encourage our local farmers by helping to spread the word about our wonderful market to everyone you know. We offer a great variety of local farm products, and our items will be in your hands in time to plan for the weekend. Although the Saturday markets are closed for the season, wonderful local products are available for ordering from the comfort of your own computer.



More new farmers are considering joining our market, if they can expect enough sales to help pay their transportation costs. Please help us grow the market by sharing this e-mail with your friends, calling their attention to the later pickup hours, which may be more convenient for them. And if you haven’t ordered from Manchester Locally Grown for a while, please check out our wide variety of offerings this week. Also please let us know if we can improve our selection or scheduling in any way to better suit your needs.



Blessings,
Linda
