Good morning!



Welcome to this week’s offerings from your online farmers’ market. Everything you see on our website is the “cream of the crop” from local farmers, the best products picked and made with pride especially for YOU! When you place an order with our farms, you know you are supporting your friends and neighbors, most located within 30 miles of Manchester, Tennessee.

THIS WEEK ONLY!
Please note that the market will be open at 11 AM today (Saturday) for orders. It will close at noon on Tuesday. You may pick up your order between 4:00 and 5:30 on Wednesday, this week only, because of Thanksgiving on Thursday, our normal pickup day. Next week we will return to the normal schedule.

Please look around at various categories, since there may be some new things added to the market after I send out this message.

Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”


Farm News of the Week

Molly from Kountry Vittles has made most of her items unavailable this week, but will offer pumpkin and pecan pies. She will return all her delicious baked goodies to the market next week, after the Thanksgiving rush with her regular customers.

If you are looking for delectable and healthy desserts for Thursday, Hope for Health has listed meringues, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, and pralines. Both Hope for Health and Knottynuffacres have listed healthy and delicious breads.

Pre-orders are closed for our Christmas wreaths and kissing balls. We may be able to make a few more at full price, so if you’d like to order one, please do so soon.

We will also have pink Christmas cacti and several colors of African violets in bloom for Christmas. If you want one of these, please reserve it now so I don’t sell it elsewhere. Just drop me an email to let me know if you want one or more of the potted plants.



Important Ordering and Pickup Information

Ordering will be open until TUESDAY at NOON, and your order will be available for pickup on WEDNESDAY between 4:00 and 5:30 at the pavilion across from Manchester City Schools administration building, 215 East Fort Street, Manchester.

We can also deliver your order to your home (or other location) on WEDNESDAY afternoon (note schedule change) for a small fee, if it’s more convenient for you. If you prefer to utilize this service, please place an order for it, same as other products, selecting your delivery area. Don’t forget to give us your location address in the comments section of the order. Also please text Linda at (931) 273-9708 for specific arrangements.

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible. 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.
