NEWS AND NOTES

Don’t forget to contact Macks’ Mushrooms if you would be interested in ordering his mushrooms with a one- to two-week delivery time.

From Tami at White City Produce & Greenhouses:
Spring CSA shares still available through March 30th. Our Summer/Fall registration ends April 25th. All of our CSA shares will include a Welcome Membership Package which includes information on canning, storing fresh produce, seasonality of fresh vegetables, and our “How to” fresh herb guide.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has listed some of the very early blooming perennial plants. From Linda:
Are you looking for something different for the Easter baskets this year? Check out the Easter herb baskets, Easter egg planters, and succulent planters from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. A single herb plant would also make a nice addition to a gardener’s basket. Let me know it will be a gift and I will foil wrap it for you at no additional charge.

Remember to look for wonderful early spring vegetables, delicious pork, beef, and chicken cuts, dried herbs, rich creamline milk, organic free-range eggs, raw local honey, jams and jellies. Please take note of our great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, bath & beauty products, baled hay, and house and garden plants.

Stop by Square Books soon and see our MLG Table, with lots of non-perishable farm products for sale. Pick up some honey, jam or jelly, hand lotion, herbal tea, or a basket of herb plants to enjoy this winter.

(L to R) Easter Egg Planter in three colors and Polka-Dot Plant in three colors from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, Blackberry Jam from Sand Dragon Farms, Shaped lotion bars in several scents from Solace Farm, Soy Candles in two scents from Pixel Bee Candles.

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 offer a great variety of local farm products, 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.

More new farmers are considering joining our market, if they can expect enough 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. And if you haven’t ordered from Manchester Locally Grown for a while, please check out our wide variety of offerings this week.

Blessings,
