NEWS AND NOTES

It’s definitely the season to buy your plants – vegetables, perennials, hanging baskets, houseplants! – from local farmers and nurserymen. Every week Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some new perennial plants and herb plants listed. Planting time is upon us, so spruce up your garden this week! We also have a selection of herb plants available at Square Books. If you’d like to see something special before purchase, please drop us a note. Also check out the vegetable and flowering plants from White City Produce & Greenhouses.



April 25 is the deadline to sign up for a share of the Summer/Fall CSA by White City Produce & Greenhouses.



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



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

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.
