Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products!


Manchester Locally Grown Farmers’ Market

Good morning!

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.”




FARM NEWS OF THE WEEK

Debbie Wittig of Knottynuffacres is still traveling, and her products are unavailable to the market this week. We hope to see her soon.

Weaver Farms has a new supply of all pork and beef products. Home raised, no antibodies or hormones, family farm, USDA inspected.





Pork shoulder roast, ham slice.




Spring is almost here! The daffodils are in glorious bloom at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse in Hillsboro! Brighten your dining table or bedroom with one dozen beautiful long-stemmed garden-fresh blooms, in a pretty vase tied with a bow. Flowers have white petals and yellow centers, and are very fragrant, my garden favorite for many years. This bouquet is perfect for gift-giving to someone special or to yourself.

The late winter-flowering perennials are also beginning to bloom in the greenhouse. Look for weekly additions to the market under “Live Plants”.






Daffodil Bouquet, Helebore – Lenten Rose

More new farmers are considering joining our market, if they can expect enough sales to help pay their transportation costs.
