Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products!
Manchester Locally Grown market
We always have a few new farmers, waiting their turn to join our market and offer their wonderful products to all our customers. In order to add more farmers, we feel it would be best to grow our customer base a bit. We want to be able to offer you and your friends some new local farm products.
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.

Farm News of the Week
Molly Cornelison of Kountry Vittles sends this message:
Good Fall morning Folks, I’ve been a bit quiet from ya’ll for a couple of months. I apologize for that, life has a way of getting hectic at times. I am now back to my simple kitchen and my simple baking routine, and Good Lord willing it shall stay that way. I have added a lot of new items to the market place this week, preparing for the upcoming holidays. Check out the fudges I have added, listed in the bakery section under Candy. My personal favorite is my Chocolate Fudge with coconut, while my son’s favorite is my Peanut Butter Fudge. I have added Buckeyes and my personal favorite Martha Washingtons. Oh those creamy coconut balls with walnuts are addictive. With the holidays come parties and gift giving. These items make the perfect take-along addition to the company party or family get together, or even a gift for that one person you have no idea what to get. Some of my new additions do not have pictures quite yet, but those are coming soon I promise (just have to grab camera before they are all eaten. lol).
