Good morning!

Welcome to this week’s offerings from your online farmers’ market. Everything you see on our website is the “cream of the crop” from local farmers, the best products picked and made with pride especially for YOU! When you place an order with our farms, you know you are supporting your friends and neighbors, most located within 30 miles of Manchester, Tennessee.

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

Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”


Farm News of the Week


From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

The summer gardening season is winding down, and there aren’t many perennials that flower faithfully at this time of year. But we do have a few, as well as a few nice herb plants:

(Top): Hardy Species Begonia, Coneflowers in several colors, Northern Lady Fern.
(Middle): Lemongrass, Hen & Chicks, French (intermedia) Lavender.
(Bottom): Creeping Rosemary, Plumbago, Toad Lily.


“Dairy Queen” is one of the farms in the Altamont area which are owned by Mennonite farmers and which list some of their products on our market.

This facility has begun making block mozarella cheese, using their unprocessed milk as the main ingredient. Because this cheese is un-pasteurized, Tennessee law states that it may not be sold for human consumption.

This facility also makes butter from their unpasteurized milk.



Important Ordering and Pickup Information

Ordering will be open until TUESDAY at 10 p.m., and your order will be available for pickup on THURSDAY between 4:00 and 5:30 at the pavilion across from Manchester City Schools administration building, 215 East Fort Street, Manchester.

We can also deliver your order to your home (or other location) on Friday afternoons, for a small fee, if it’s more convenient for you. If you prefer to utilize this service, please place an order for it, same as other products, selecting your delivery area. Don’t forget to give us your location address in the comments section of the order. Also please text Linda at (931) 273-9708 for specific arrangements.

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible.

We offer a great variety of local farm products, and our items will be in your hands in time to plan for the weekend. Wonderful local products are available for ordering from the comfort of your own computer.

More new farmers are considering joining our market, if they can expect enough sales to help pay their transportation costs. Please help us grow the market by sharing this e-mail with your friends and inviting them to give us a try.
