The farmers and market managers would really appreciate your efforts to help spread the word about our fantastic market. What a great local resource for fresh, local farm products. Please pick up a few business cards to hand out to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Advertising is very expensive, and we want to use our slim market funds in a responsible manner.

Good morning!

Welcome to our NEW PICKUP LOCATION! Beginning this week (Nov 2), we will be under the big pavilion across from Manchester City Schools administration building at 215 East Fort Street, Manchester. This location is just a couple blocks from Highway 41, 1.5 blocks from the square, and a short distance from I-24 Exit 111. The Coffee County market has some directional signs near the interstate.

You should be able to view a larger map by clicking on it. If you have any trouble finding us, please call Linda at (931) 273-9708. Michael will wait for a while outside Manchester Farm Center, in case you need directions from that location.

You will receive the best products picked and made with pride especially for YOU! You can’t get any fresher and higher quality than that! Thank you for supporting your local farmers and small businessmen and women.

The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm.

Farm News of the Week

Welcome to our market Fiery Fungi from Pelham, TN! Katelin Hawkins writes:

We are a gourmet edible mushroom farm located in Pelham, TN. We are committed to providing fresh, delicious mushrooms to our customers. We strive to provide a good variety all year round. We do not use any pesticides in our grow rooms, and are organic in all but certification.

We’re glad to have Terra Hills Natural Products from Hillsboro, TN, returning after a lengthy break. Many of her natural products contain magnesium, which is insufficient in our modern diet. Magnesium assists nearly all our bodily functions, including muscles, nerves, and dignestion. Terresa says:
Terra Hills = from the hills of the earth
Using nature to maintain health & wellness. All natural products for you & your family!

Stock up this week on vegetables from Erdmann Farm. John will probably still have peppers, radishes, and Long Island Cheese pumpkins. He will then be traveling and unable to list on the market for the next two weeks.

(L to R): Peppers “Islander”, Long Island Cheese Pumpkin, Radishes “Champion”.

Andra Martens from Sow’s Ear Piggery sends this message:
With cooler, damp weather, this time of year is perfect for rendering lard in a low-temperature oven that warms your kitchen for hours. This week, we have for sale limited quantities of both back fat and leaf lard. Render low and slow in a covered baking pan, cool, then pour into Mason jars to set. The jars can be stored in the fridge for months. We personally use rendered back fat daily in place of oils or butter, as well as for baking cornbread or muffins. Leaf lard is the internal fat that is prized for baking. If rendered slowly, as not to burn the fat, it finishes pure white. Do not fear the negative propaganda about lard. All our pork products are from non-GMO, non-antibiotic, non-animal-by-product, pastured pigs. Their meat and fat is the purest you will find, and more healthful than store-bought commercial pork. “You are what you eat,” so choose the best!

Back fat and Leaf Lard.
