NEWS AND NOTES

Welcome back to Manchester Locally Grown market, after our short Christmas break! And Happy New Year to one and all!



Hope for Health brings us the most naturally nutritious foods possible. Hope writes:
I’ll have all of my items this week… pumpkin muffins made with freshly ground organic wheat, organic coconut oil, fresh honey. Also, sprouts will be available this week. Hope also offers toffee, brownies, meringues, pecan pralines, and carrot cake. She believes in foods in their most natural form and using organic ingredients.



Dogwood Valley Greenhouse writes:
Bring the garden inside for the winter! Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a large selection of beautiful hanging baskets and houseplants to help make your winter home more comfortable by raising the humidity and the oxygen content of the air a little bit. The multi-colored foliage of our Rex begonias and various-colored blooms of our Christmas cacti will really raise your spirits during the dreary winter months. Our Aloe vera plants will help heal cuts and burns from winter-time cooking. And our wandering Jews and spider plants in two colors will fill your windows with green and colorful foliage. I also have two very large hanging baskets, one Swedish ivy and one blooming flame violet, which would make spectacular gifts for the gardener with a winter birthday. Check out our beautiful houseplants, and add one to your home, or that of a friend, this week!.



Vegetables from White City Produce & Greenhouses will be available this week.



We will be glad to deliver your order to you, at home or a location of your choice, on Friday afternoons for a small fee. Order delivery just like any other product.
