Hello, friends,

Welcome to another week of shopping at Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market. We are now open for ordering. This week, pickup will be on Tuesday the 30th. This means ordering will end on Monday at noon. We will be back on our regular schedule next week.

Here’s a message from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some very nice herb baskets which will make useful as well as pretty table decorations this winter. With a little water and a little artificial light, they will produce clippings for your wintertime cooking. Available herbs are:
LEMON BALM
MINTS (chocolate, peppermint, pineapple [variegated], spearmint, grapefruit)
OREGANO (Greek or variegated)
ROSEMARY
RUE
SAGE, Garden
STEVIA (small but healthy)
THYME (Lemon, English, silver-edged, citrus, lime)

Please specify three herbs to be included. Finished basket is approximately 12" diameter and 6" tall.

We have a couple left-over kissing balls that will make good decorations for your winter garden for several more weeks. Right now these are on after-Christmas close-out special, marked half-price.

We also have some other nice houseplants, dish gardens, windowsill gardens, and hanging baskets to brighten up your indoor wintertime. Check them out on the market!

Here is a message that I have received from White City Produce & Greenhouses:

Last week was my last week on the market till Spring. Thanks to everyone for your support this season, and we’re looking forward to a great 2015 season! Happy New Year!

However, our local area has several other sources for seasonal vegetables and fruits – YES! even in winter! Please check the offerings of Frontier Family Farms, Solace Farm, Doorstep Bakery, and Basically Breads. Sometimes we have to get a little creative in winter, in order to include fruits and vegetables into our diets. These farmers can help!


I’d like to point you toward some great information concerning getting hold of fruits and vegetables during fall and winter. From GAIAM Life, we learn the reasons to eat items which are available seasonally include:

Foods are less expensive when in season (law of supply & demand).

Produce is more tasty when grown in the region because there’s less transportation time from farm to plate.

A greater variety of foods is possible when you include foods produced in different seasons.

Produce especially is more nutritious when not stored or transported before consumption.

The consumer is able to avoid chemical treatments, delays, & damage to food that are associated with lengthy transport of food products.

At The World’s Healthiest Foods, we read:

In fall, turn toward the more warming, autumn harvest foods, including carrot, sweet potato, onions, and garlic. Also emphasize the more warming spices and seasonings including ginger, peppercorns, and mustard seeds.

In winter, turn even more exclusively toward warming foods. Remember the principle that foods taking longer to grow are generally more warming than foods that grow quickly. All of the animal foods fall into the warming category including fish, chicken, beef, and lamb. So do most of the root vegetables, including carrot, potato, onions and garlic. Eggs also fit in here, as do corn and nuts.

Please note that a great many items on the seasonal list are available at Manchester Locally Grown market. We are your source of fresh, local seasonal products. Order some today and give them a try. Boost your immune system while supporting your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items.

A sampling of items available from our local farmers: (L to R) Sourdough Bread from Basically Breads, Duck eggs from Solace Farm, Extra sage Sausage from Weaver Farms, Popcorn from Wayne Diller, and Windowsill Herb Collection from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.

This week and next,we’ll see you for pickup of your order on Tuesday between 3:00 and 4:30 at Square Books, 113 E Main, Manchester. We can also hold your order in the refrigerator till Wednesday, if that’s more convenient for you. Just call (931) 273-9708 if you prefer to utilize this free service.

Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, all of our growers, local food, and our right to eat it. Please encourage our local farmers by helping to spread the word about our wonderful market to everyone you know. Nothing makes a farmer more excited than seeing new customers on the market!
