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.

Solace Farm is excited to report we have finally gotten our fall crop of grassfed beef and lamb back from the processor! Thanks so much to our loyal customers for your patience as we slowly grow our herds (at this point, the only cows in our herd of 24 not born at Solace Farm are our bull and 3 mamas!), and as always thank you for supporting small family farms like ours!

Our cows are getting ready to come back around. We have 2 gallons and 2 half gallons to list. That is all we will have available for now, but we hope to have more soon.
For this Christmas season, Manchester Locally Grown managers will offer combination gift baskets, each containing items from several farmers. We currently have listed some smaller baskets, with a couple larger ones planned to contain perishable items. Please check back to see our other offerings, and let us know if you have specific needs for gift baskets.
