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.

Please look around at various categories, since there may be some new things added to the market after I send out this message. Also please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”


Farm News of the Week

Molly from Kountry Vittles writes:

I hope Everyone had a Blessed and Wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. I have added a new pie to the market, a Caramel Apple Crumble pie made of course with fresh apples and a buttery crumble topping – pure deliciousness when it’s baking and leaving a wonderful apple smell throughout my little kitchen. With the holidays coming and everyone’s busy schedule, let me give you a break and do some baking for you.

(L to R) Apple Caramel Crumble Pie and Stay-Soft Sugar Cookies, the latter decorated for Christmas.




Wayne Diller‘s items are still in vacation mode this week, but he’s planning to return to market shortly.

Knottynuffacres will be on vacation mode for several weeks while Deb deals with medical issues. We will miss everyone.


From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
I have received more materials, so will be able to make a few more Christmas wreaths and kissing balls. If you’d like to order one, I will add your name to the waiting list. You will not be charged for these till I deliver, which is estimated for December 20 market.

This holiday season, brighten your loved ones’ homes with plants that they can enjoy all year round! Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a wonderful selection of indoor plants, including winter-flowering violets, pretty-leaved Rex begonias, wandering jew hanging baskets, and a few pink Christmas cacti. If you want one of these, place your order now, and tell me whether to deliver it on Tuesday or reserve it for your Christmas order.
