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

We really want to hear your thoughts regarding where you first heard of the market, as well as some of the good things and not-so-good things about our market. We need your help to grow our market into the best farmers’ market ever!
So please help us out. Please send us your thoughts by completing the short survey you will find here:
Manchester Locally Grown customer survey
In return, we will enter your name (if you choose to identify yourself) into a drawing for a $25 market gift certificate.
In addition, please tell your friends, neighbors, co-workers – sure, even your enemies! – about our market. When one of them makes a purchase and tells us you sent them, you will be entered into the drawing a second time. There is no limit to how many entries you can earn this way.
So complete the survey, tell your friends, and start planning how to spend the $25 certificate when you win the drawing! (Entry deadline is April 15.)
Frontier Family Farms has added some microgreens to the market. These will be great on salads, in sandwiches, even in soups and stews. They have also made some spring vegetables available.

From Amy at Solace Farm:
We have lamb available! We have several leg roasts and just a few rack roasts left, perfect for Easter dinner!
Since Solace Farm sells in other locations as well, I would suggest getting your Easter lamb right away.
