Good morning, everyone!
Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is open for ordering. The market opened at 8 a.m. Sunday morning, and will be open until this evening (Tuesday) at 10 pm. Pickup will be on Thursday from 3:00 till 5:00. We have more variety than many large Saturday markets, and our items will be in your hands on Thursday! Instead of fighting the crowds and getting up early 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.

NEWS AND NOTES
Paccman Ranch has once again listed their 2 pound package of ground beef. Get yours before they run out!
From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
With somewhat lower temperatures and lots of rain, now is a great time to get a jump on your spring gardening with perennial and herb plants and ferns. Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a great Fall Special: buy 3 perennial or herb plants or ferns (mix-and-match), and get one of equal or lesser value at no charge.
We still have lots and lots of summer vegetables on the market. This week we have zucchini, tomatoes, summer squash, red potatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, and cucumbers. Local milk and eggs; pork and chicken cuts; and more are available here! Three types of dried herbs and eight of fresh are also available to flavor those dishes! We have lots of homemade herbal products too.
(L to R) Mixed Lettuce from Frontier Family Farm, Yellow Crook-neck Squash from White City Produce & Greenhouses, Ground Beef from Paccman Ranch, Fresh Apple Mint from White City Produce & Greenhouses, and Toad Lily Plant from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.
