NEWS AND NOTES

Welcome this week to a new grower, Erdmann Farms. John and Tish are the operators of a vegetable and flower farm which emphasizes organic methods and sells to the local market. Located in Christiana, Tennessee, this 87 acre farm is the site of the homeplace built by Tish’s great-great-great grandfather in 1830. The farm has seen the cycle of industrialization to the modern era and now returns back to some of the basic organic practices of crop production. We are thankful for the tractor and a few of the luxuries that come with the 21st century.


Also welcome back to an old friend, Triple B Farms from Manchester. Natasha has listed some fresh herbs and several flavors of teas.



White City Produce & Greenhouses has added tomatoes and two types of squash.


(L to R) Dark Green Zucchini from White City Produce & Greenhouses; Bibb Lettuce from Frontier Family Farms; Casey Family Farm Creamline Milk; Bright Pink Coneflower and Large Pink Daylily with Purple Throat Markings from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.

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!
