NEWS AND NOTES

Welcome to Kountry Vittles Baked Goods from Manchester! Molly has added two homemade pies to our market this week – Chocolate Meringue and Chess. There is no need to heat up your house in order to have homemade goodness for dessert!

KIC Produce has added an 8 week fall CSA to the market. Their vegetables are “beyond organic – always GMO free, zero pesticides, zero synthetic fertilizers, and responsibly sourced seed.”

Several of the Tin Lotion Bars from Solace Farm are now available in both large (2.5 oz) and small (1.5 oz) sizes. If you’ve been wanting to try one, this would be a good opportunity. Warning: you will love Amy’s lotion!

Please remember that White City Produce & Greenhouses will not be delivering orders this week. Tami will return with her vegetables next week.

We have these yummy summer vegetables available this week from local farmers: beets, carrots, garlic, kohlrabi, lettuce, onions, bell peppers, and red potatoes. Frontier Family Farm will soon offer their fall vegetable selection (see picture below).

Also you will find a great selection of fresh-cut herbs to help to bring out the flavor of those vegetables and your other summer cooking.

Remember that we also have delicious pork and beef cuts, organic free-range chicken and duck eggs, jams and jellies, live plants for your perennial border, porch, or patio. Please take note of our great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, and bath & beauty products. Stop by Square Books soon and see our market table, with lots of non-perishable farm products for sale. Pick up some jam or jelly, hand lotion or soap, herbal tea, a candle, or a basket of herb plants to enjoy or to give as a gift.

We can also hold your order in the refrigerator till Friday, if it’s more convenient for you to pick it up between 11:00 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. If neither of those pickup times works for you, please make a note on the order, and we will work out an alternative arrangement.

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. 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 and inviting them to give us a try. And if you haven’t ordered from Manchester Locally Grown for a while, please check out our wide variety of offerings this week. Also please let us know if we can improve our selection or scheduling in any way to better suit your needs.
