Happy Sunday morning!
Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is now open for ordering. The market will be open until Tuesday at 10 pm, and pickup will be on Thursday from 3:00 till 4:30. We have more variety than many large Saturday markets, and our items will be in your hands on Thursday! Instead of venturing outside in this incredible heat wave to search for what you want at the Saturday market, check out the wonderful products our local growers have for you, from the comfort of your own computer. We appreciate your support of your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items.
