“Dairy Queen” is one of the farms in the Altamont area which are owned by Mennonite farmers and which list some of their products on our market.
This facility has begun making block mozarella cheese, using their unprocessed milk as the main ingredient. Because this cheese is un-pasteurized, Tennessee law states that it may not be sold for human consumption.
This facility also makes butter from their unpasteurized milk.
Important Ordering and Pickup Information
Ordering will be open until TUESDAY at 10 p.m., and your order will be available for pickup on THURSDAY 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 Friday afternoons, 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.

Farm News of the Week

Some of our farmers don’t have time to set up a table and actually meet you face-to-face on Thursdays, so I thought it might be nice to do the next best thing and “introduce” a few of them to you in the newsletter. Amy Rae and her husband Caleb own Solace Farm in Coalmont, TN. Amy has written us a short introduction:
We took 3 steers off to the processor today, so we will be restocked on our start-to-finish grass fed beef in a couple more weeks. These Scottish Highland steers were born on our farm, and were never treated with anything. Highlands are a smaller-framed, slow-growing breed that are well-suited for grass-fed. It takes 3 years to raise them to maturity so they have a slower turnover rate than commercial beef breeds, but it is well worth the wait for their amazing beef! They are a rare breed that marbles even on grass since their thick furry coat means they don’t have to put their fat on the outside for warmth. It frequently wins taste tests, and the Queen of England keeps a small herd for personal use!

Knottynuffacres has added “San Marzano”, an Italian low-acid cooking tomato with thick dry flesh and few seeds, a great tomato for stewing and/or canning sauces and pastes. Deb has also added two types of peppers, jalapeños and Anaheims.

Good evening!
This is just a friendly reminder to place your order online by 10 pm this evening.
It seems as though every week, someone says, “I meant to order last week, but forgot till about 9:45.” Well, that’s fine, for two reasons:
1. Every single order placed before I close the market will be filled, unless the farmers run out of some items; and
2. I never close the market at 10:00 sharp. It just doesn’t happen (and to those who know me, that comes as no surprise.) It may be closer to midnight before it gets turned off. However, it’s better not to put off ordering, because some items may be sold out.
Lastly, remember to hit that last “submit” button. I really dislike disappointing a customer who comes to market, only to find no order in their name because they didn’t hit the last button.
