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.

Matt Gulick from Tonic Farm writes:
We’re currently running a larder sale to make room for the new season of chicken. Since all of our production is based on pasture, our growing season is limited to the warm months so we always try to make sure to produce more than enough. The year before last we sold out early before the new season, and last year it seems we over-produced so now we’re passing the savings on to our customers in order to make room!! We’re selling through the last of last year’s stock, 20% off on whole birds and 30% off on both boneless skinless breast and tenders! Offer available while supplies last!

Whole broiler, Boneless/skinless breast.

In news from Solace Farm, Amy Rae writes:
This week, Solace Farm will be offering regular and tinted lip balms, in both the classic balm recipe and my 50% grassfed tallow recipe. We have also listed our clay-based deodorants in a new, eco-friendly cardboard tube, rather than plastic ones (although the plastic tubes will be available till until they’re used up).
We’re also offering a new granola, perfect for spring – it’s a meringue granola, with almost no added fat, very little sugar, and extra protein from the egg whites. There are also some new soaps listed with new fragrances – Goat Milk, Classic Lard, Olive & Shea Vegan, and the Goat Milk Shampoo.
