Manchester Locally Grown Farmers’ Market

Good morning!

I’m sorry, I’m playing with new formatting and trying to get it right. Please excuse multiple messages. They are all identical except the formatting. Read whichever one is best for you.

The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm. Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”

NEWS AND NOTES

Kountry Vittles Baked Goods is celebrating their 2nd Anniversary this Week, thank you everyone for you Support. I’ve been busy baking lots of cakes, pies and goodies and will be adding more to the list shortly. This past week the most popular item has been my Banana Pudding Pie with it’s Nilla wafer crust and ole fashioned homemade pudding mixed with lots of banana slices and more Nilla wafers inside. It’s topped off with a generous portion of Meringue and baked to perfection. Next runner up has been the Ole fashioned Coconut Cream Pie topped with Real Whipped Cream. Just can’t beat those ole Timey recipes. Back to baking everyone have a Blessed Day.

My work travel schedule has prevented listing of Sow’s Ear Piggery premium pork products for a few weeks. We’re back on the market this week and hope to make up for the absence with special pricing across the board. All of our products are listed below $4/pound this week. With the return of winter weather, pork is a versatile entrée for comfort food prepared indoors on chilly January nights. Braised, baked, pan fried, or in stroganoff or goulash, pork from the oven hits the spot!
Thanks!

Note: Our pigs are raised outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, graze clover and native grasses, forage on acorns and persimmons in season, and are also fed non-corn, non-soy, non-GMO feed (pellets of milo, black oil sunflower seed, and wheat) and fresh fruit and vegetables. They are happy, docile, friendly animals who enjoy a good life and re-pay us in natural, non-antibiotic, non-hormone meat and lard for frying and baking. Our pork is nicely marbled and sweet flavored.
