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
From Molly Cornelison at Kountry Vittles:
It’s time to think spring, maybe we can give ole Mother Nature a hint that we are ready for some pretty weather. I have added to our market some spring-design cupcakes and a two-layer cake with fresh whipped cream icing, topped with fresh fruit. These items are sure to give Mother Nature a hint. I have also made available my Fresh Strawberry Pie and my Ultimate Strawberry Cake, with its three layers of strawberry cake and fresh-sliced strawberries between the layers, iced in strawberry buttercream. I for one am ready for spring.
Molly also makes some beautiful customizable cakes, a few of which are in the photos below.

From Andra Martens at Sow’s Ear Piggery:
This week only, we are offering for sale feeder piglets from our recent litter. Raise your own pork and have your choice of cuts on hand in your own freezer. We have just a few not spoken for. They are a cross of lean and lard breeds (Berkshire x American Guinea Hog/Mangalitsa) for just enough fat for bacon and sausage. They were born February 4 and are now eating and growing well. This cross has consistently reached butcher weight of 250 lbs. by 8.5 months of age. (Or, keep growing them out to reach 350 lbs. by 11 months.) AVAILABLE WHILE “SUPPLIES” LAST.
Order early if you want one of these piglets!
