Good morning!

Welcome to Middle Tennessee Locally Grown online farmers’ market! The market opened for ordering before 8 AM on Sunday, as always. Sorry I didn’t have time to send out a newsletter till now! But remember: you don’t have to wait till you receive the newsletter to place your order. The market is open.

As always, 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, located in Middle 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.”

Don’t forget about our pick-up location in Tullahoma in addition to the usual one in Manchester. Now you can avoid the delivery charge and come visit with your market managers! Be sure to let us know via the drop-down menu which location you prefer for pickup.





Farm News of the Week: In the Spotlight




(top, L to R): Laundry Soap by Cindy’s Suds is now available in a 16oz trial size; “Martha Washington Balls” by Kountry Vittles are to die for!

(Bottom): Solace Farm lotions smell heavenly and really work; Frontier Family Farm offers microgreens in several varieties.



It’s daylily time at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse! Suddenly, the orange rebloomers are showing off and egging on all the others! The astilbes and coral bells, both in several colors, are also beginning to bloom, and the coneflowers have big fat buds. We still have azaleas and coreopsis in bloom as well, so you can overlap your sequence of bloom in the garden. Of course balloon flower (we have several colors) will bloom all summer. For your porch or patio, we have several houseplants and hanging baskets, as well as a new crop of African violets coming into bloom. Don’t forget about our beautiful embellished herb pots, great as a gift (even to your patio!) We still have a good selection of pepper and tomato plants, but these are selling low. For the shady areas, we have several very nice ferns, with more on the way. We are updating the market with some “Fresh Cut” herbs, so be sure to check that section when you shop. Lastly, we have only two of the big herb gift baskets “True Love of Mine” left – get yours soon!

(L to R, top) Early Orange Reblooming Daylily; Fresh Cut Apple Mint (and several others).

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.
