NEWS AND NOTES

We have lots of delicious spring and summer vegetables available: beets, carrots, kohlrabi, onions, potatoes, spinach, yellow squash, and zucchini. This week White City Produce & Greenhouses has added Pickling Cucumbers, Arugula, Beets “Detroit Dark Red”, and Green Bell Peppers.

Several of our farmers are offering fresh-cut herbs, to liven up your summer cooking. If you’ve never tried fresh-cut herbs, pick up a few this week and watch the expressions on the faces of your loved ones as they taste the difference!

* Triple B Farms offers basil, lemon balm, mint, peppermint, sage, and thyme. They also have several flavors of loose-leaf teas.
* White City Produce & Greenhouses offers apple mint and oregano.
* Solace Farm offers fresh oregano, spearmint, and thyme, as well as several dried herbs.

Remember that we also have delicious pork and beef cuts, rich creamline milk, organic free-range chicken and duck eggs, jams and jellies, live plants for your perennial border, porch, or patio. Please take note of our great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, and bath & beauty products. Stop by Square Books soon and see our market 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. 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.
