Good morning!

Welcome to Middle Tennessee Locally Grown online farmers’ market! As always, the market opened for ordering Sunday morning at 8 am (usually earlier), and will be open till Tuesday evening at 10 pm.

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.

If you have already placed an order this week, we thank you. Feel free to place a second order if you see something in this letter that you missed. Also please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”

Pick up your order in either Manchester or Tullahoma, and let us know via the drop-down menu which location you prefer for pickup. Your location may change from week to week as you prefer.

Farm News of the Week

Molly from Kountry Vittles writes:

I finally got my offerings updated. I removed a few cakes and pies and added a whole bunch of my own creation cupcakes. I also added Pecan Pie Bars, Lemon Bars and my Lemon Drop Cookies. I am working on a Pumpkin Spice Cupcake and hope to have that one added soon for the fall. I’m having a ball designing new flavors. If I can get a chance to get to Murfreesboro I hope to add a few smaller sized sweet breads.

Top (L to R): Sundrop Cupcakes, Almond Joy Brownie Bites.
Bottom (L to R): Chocolate Turtle Cupcakes, Pecan Pie Bars.





Albert Lynn has added cucumbers to his vegetable offerings. Both “Straight 8” and pickling cucumbers are available in good quantities. He mentioned that there will soon be other changes, as the fall vegetables begin to produce and the summer ones retire.





Dogwood Valley Greenhouse news:

It’s still pretty hot, but the plants know that fall is just around the corner, literally a flip of a calendar page away. The pretty fall bloomers are coming into their own, and will give a great boost to your garden at a time when color can be a little scarce in the perennial garden.

Put together a beautiful fall garden, or fill in a couple of bare spots with fall color. Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has what you need! And with slightly cooler weather and a bit of rain headed our way this week, it will be a good time to plant them.

Top (L to R) Buy One Get One, Hardy Begonia Species; Old-fashioned Hen & Chicks.
Bottom (L to R) Creeping Charlie Hanging Basket, African Violet double pink with maroon edges.
