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.

Good morning!


If it’s been a while since you read all the whole list of items available on this market, you really should read down through it. I think you will be pleased at both the variety and the quality of local farm products. 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.

The market will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm.

Farm News of the Week



Molly at Kountry Vittles writes:

I’m excited to announce that I have added several customized cakes to the market this week. Now you can order custom made cakes for most any occasion you may have. I have added everything from 6 inch rounds to a 2 tier cake all customizable to your needs. The 6 inch is one of my favorites. I call it my personal cake fix cake, because it’s big enough to handle the craving without a lot of left overs. All cakes are iced with my buttercream icing and decorated in your choice of colors and theme. One week advance ordering is necessary to make it perfect for your event; more time is preferred. Please tell me your requested delivery date in the farmer message.

I want to say thank you, from all of us at the market. We appreciate you.

(L to R, middle row): 2 tier, 6" 2 Layer.

Cheryl’s Neighborhood Garden has a good-sized herb garden, and hopes to have bagged, dried herbs, as well as some herbal remedies, for sale later this year. She uses various yard mulches and no chemicals. For now, she’s listed some of her needlework: an apron and two toddler bibs.

From Lois at Casey Farms:

We are able to list some milk this week. I hope things will get back to normal. Thank you for your patience.


Just a few notes from Natasha Brooks of Triple B Farms/Crusader Coffee/Pickleweed Sweet Treats.

Triple B Farms is back on the market with our coffee and handmade items.

Pickleweed Sweet Treats is still on break from the market. Grace, who makes the delicious sweets, is however back to making custom cakes and desserts, specializing in gluten free, dairy free and sugar free. You can find her on Facebook under Pickleweed Sweet Treats. She would like to thank everyone that has bought her treats and to let you all know she may be back on the market later in the year.

Crusader Coffee is roasted in Coffee County on Coffee Street! Crusader Coffee is roasted specifically for Templar Shooting Sports in Tullahoma on 1101 S. Jackson Street. We have three blends specially roasted for the quality, flavor, and freshness all coffee lovers want. We also have K-cups that come with an adapter for your Keurig. If you have purchased K-cups from us and they are not working in your coffee maker, send me an email and I can bring you an adapter. 10% of all profit from Crusader Coffee goes directly to A Soldiers Child foundation, founded and located in Smyrna, TN. They are a local charity whose mission is to celebrate the life of children who have lost a parent while on active duty. Each child sponsored receives a birthday celebration worthy of the honor and sacrifice their family has made for our nation.

When you purchase any blend of Crusader Coffee, not only are you getting locally roasted, fresh coffee, you’re supporting your local economy and a cause worthy of all Americans.
