Hello, friends!

Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market will be open for ordering until Tuesday evening at 10 pm. Pickup will be on Thursday from 4:00 till 5:30 (note later pickup hours). 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

The variety of foods this time of year is wonderful, with the fall vegetables coming in while the summer vegetables are still in abundant supply. But farmers’ markets are not all about vegetables. Please take note of some of the new and returning seasonal items available this week.

Triple B Farms has added Live Water Kefir Grains, a natural probiotic, and Square Bale Grass Hay for your animals.

Reminders: Ground beef from Paccman Ranch, as well as Scuppernong and Muscadine ciders, jelly, and fruits from White City Produce & Greenhouses, are in limited supply this fall season.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse is running a fall special on perennial and herb plants and ferns: Buy 3, get one of equal or lesser value free. Fall is actually the best time of year to plant perennials, as well as a great time to get a jump on your spring gardening. Fall-planted perennials establish a strong root system over winter, allowing for spectacular spring blooming.

Local milk and eggs; pork and chicken cuts; and more are available here! Three types of dried herbs and five of fresh are also available to flavor those dishes! We have lots of homemade herbal products too.

(L to R) Scuppernong Cider from White City Produce & Greenhouses, Square Bale Grass Hay and Live Water Kefir Grains from Triple B Farms, Autumn Leaves Lotion Bar from Solace Farm, Purple Aster Plant from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.
