Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products - For Real!
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.

We’re Back!!!
Once again we will “restart” this market for the new year. After another week of terrible cold weather, we’re now ready for spring! And we’re ready to have a fantastic market day! We want you to be able to find the “cream of the crop” from local farmers, the best products picked and made with pride especially for YOU! Thank you for supporting your local farmers and small businessmen and women.
Remember: The order you originally placed for LAST week’s delivery will be waiting for you THIS week on January 25. You do NOT have to reorder those items. Feel free to order additional items, and the software will total both orders together at checkout. If you need to remove an item from last week’s order, please text Linda at (931) 273-9708.
The market will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm.
