NEWS AND NOTES

Welcome to Terra Hills Natural Products, from Hillsboro. Terresa Hill has listed three types of natural medicinal products, with more to follow.

Tena of Delicious Nutritious Bread apologizes for the price increase on her Cranberry Walnut Whole Grain loaf. Last week’s price was an error.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse once again offers their lovely kissing balls, great Christmas decorations for use inside or out.

We also have fabric-lined baskets filled with three herb plants, each in its own 4" pot. These pretty baskets will make great Christmas decorations or hostess gifts. Herbs included will be those commonly used in baking and cooking, a great addition to any kitchen. Specify your preference of herbs from this list: green or purple basil; lemon balm; orange, pineapple, apple, chocolate, spearmint, or grapefruit mint; Greek or variegated oregano; silver-edged, English, common, variegated lemon, citrus, or lime thyme. Basket is approximately 8-9" diameter with a handle. Pattern of fabric may vary, but will be Christmas themed.

Steve Yeske from Steve’s Bees would like you to know that he has only a limited supply of honey remaining. Order yours soon, or pick one up at Square Books.

Vegetable production is easing off, but these great vegetables are still available on our market from local growers: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, two types of greens, kale, onions, spinach, tomatoes, and turnips; and several types of lettuce & peppers.

But our farmers’ market is not just about vegetables. Please take note of some of the seasonal items available this week: Live Water Kefir Grains and Square Bale Grass Hay from Triple B Farms; Ground Beef from Paccman Ranch; and Scuppernong cider and jelly from White City Produce & Greenhouses.

We also have lots of our regular year-round items: perennial, herb, and fern plants, as well as a good selection of houseplants; local milk, eggs, and honey; lots of different pork cuts; several dried herbs and fresh, as well as lots of homemade herbal products too.

(L to R) Plantain Salve and Magnesium Oil Spray with Lavender from Terra Hills Natural Products, Garlic Leaf Card Set from Solace Farm, Kissing Ball and Herb Plant Collection from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.

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 a great variety, and our items will be in your hands in time to plan for the weekend. Although the Saturday markets are closed for the season, wonderful local products are available for ordering 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 your friends, calling their attention to the later pickup hours, which may be more convenient for them.
