NEWS AND NOTES

The next two market days will be:

Wed Nov 23 (with home delivery TBD) for Thanksgiving.

Welcome to Mack’s Mushrooms from Manchester! This week Corey has added Gourmet Shiitake Mushrooms, grown on locally harvested white oak logs, to the market.

Welcome also to Peach Plantation from the Viola Valley near McMinnville. Stacy & Fred recently purchased a nursery, and have added some of their newly acquired stock to our market. These plants aren’t identified as yet, but Stacy has good pictures. Check out her nice shrubs and trees.

Check out the additions to the Produce Boxes from Frontier Family Farm. Such a convenient way to get your weekly vegetables (and more).

Flying S Farms has added two types of cabbage to the market.

Weaver Farms has added some new flavors of pork sausage and several cuts of beef to the market.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse will have a couple of fall baskets and planters at market this week. Come see how nice they will look on your table this season! Linda has also added two pretty azalea bushes, which are currently reblooming, although they may or may not do so each year.

Vegetables from White City Produce & Greenhouses will be available both this week and next for Thanksgiving.

Please remember pickup will be at our NEW LOCATION, at Manchester Farm Center, 251 Interstate Drive, Manchester. Look for us under the big tents to the left of the store. On Thursday, Weaver Farms, Frontier Family Farms, and Dogwood Valley Greenhouse will set up tables at market time (weather permitting). You will be able to see some of the goodies that you’ve been reading about on the market news! When you come to pick up your order, bring a friend and plan to hang out for a few minutes and chat with Ray & Elaine, Michael, and Linda.

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.
