Hello, everyone,

Welcome to December this week! It really is “beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”

Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is now open for ordering.

A message from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

We are taking orders through the market for beautiful kissing balls. Made with live greens and other natural materials, these balls are about 18" diameter and suitable to hang on a shepherd’s crook for a beautiful outside Christmas decoration. Each one is mounted on a sturdy hanger and includes a red ribbon bow (although not shown on one).

Cider and jelly, perennial plants, local baked goods, pork products, herbal bath & body products, local honey, fresh-laid chicken & duck eggs, and plenty more products are to be found on our market. Give them a try! Many of these items are suitable for gift-giving. Also remember our Gift Certificates available in any denomination for Christmas or other gifts.

And lastly, let us know if you are interested in a beautiful live Christmas wreath, made in three sizes and decorated by a local Moore County farmer. These are not currently listed on the market, but arrangements can be made to have them available if you would like one.
