Good afternoon!

Welcome to fall! Finally the weather matches the season, and I’m loving these cooler temperatures.

Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market will be open for ordering until Tuesday evening at 10 pm. See the section of this message entitled Important Ordering and Pickup Information.

NEWS AND NOTES

Frontier Family Farms fall spinach is here! It’s a great addition to a salad, and we still have lots of other summer vegetables to add to that salad. 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:

Live Water Kefir Grains and Square Bale Grass Hay from Triple B Farms

Ground Beef from Paccman Ranch

Scuppernong and Muscadine ciders, jelly, and fruits from White City Produce & Greenhouses

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

Eggs

Pork

Chicken cuts

Dried herbs and fresh, as well as lots of homemade herbal products too.

And more!!!

(L to R) Spinach from Frontier Family Farm, Mountain Fresh Tomatoes and Zucchini from White City Produce & Greenhouses, Dwarf Red Carnation and Bright Pink Coneflower from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.

Important Ordering and Pickup Information

Ordering will be open until Tuesday at 10 p.m., and your order will be available for pickup on Thursday between 4:00 and 5:30 (note later pickup hours) at Square Books, 113 East Main Street, Manchester. We can also hold your order in the refrigerator till Friday, if it’s more convenient for you to pick it up between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm. If you prefer to utilize this free service, please make a note on your order or call my cell at (931) 273-9708.

Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, and your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items. Please encourage our local farmers by helping to spread the word about our wonderful market to everyone you know. 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 have some new farmers considering joining our market, if they can expect large sales to help pay their transportation costs. Please help us grow the market by sharing this e-mail with some of your friends, calling their attention to the later pickup hours, which may be more convenient for them. And if you haven’t ordered from Manchester Locally Grown for a while, please check out our wide variety of offerings this week.

Blessings,
Linda
