Good afternoon!

Welcome to fall! Finally the weather matches the season, and I’m loving these cooler temperatures.



Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market will be open for ordering until Tuesday evening at 10 pm. See the section of this message entitled Important Ordering and Pickup Information.


——————————————————————————————————————————————————
NEWS AND NOTES

Frontier Family Farms fall spinach is here! It’s a great addition to a salad, and we still have lots of other summer vegetables to add to that salad. The variety of foods this time of year is wonderful, with the fall vegetables coming in while the summer vegetables are still in abundant supply.



But farmers’ markets are not all about vegetables. Please take note of some of the new and returning seasonal items available this week:


  • Live Water Kefir Grains and Square Bale Grass Hay from Triple B Farms

  • Ground Beef from Paccman Ranch

  • Scuppernong and Muscadine ciders, jelly, and fruits from White City Produce & Greenhouses

  • Dogwood Valley Greenhouse is running a fall special on perennial and herb plants and ferns: Buy 3, get one of equal or lesser value free. Fall is actually the best time of year to plant perennials, as well as a great time to get a jump on your spring gardening. Fall-planted perennials establish a strong root system over winter, allowing for spectacular spring blooming.

  • Local milk

  • Eggs

  • Pork

  • Chicken cuts

  • Dried herbs and fresh, as well as lots of homemade herbal products too.

  • And more!!!







  • (L to R) Spinach from Frontier Family Farm, Mountain Fresh Tomatoes and Zucchini from White City Produce & Greenhouses, Dwarf Red Carnation and Bright Pink Coneflower from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a great Fall Special for you. Buy 3 perennial or herb plants or ferns (mix-and-match), and get one of equal or lesser value at no charge. The free plant is your own choice from my market list, subject to available stock. Sorry, lavender and rosemary plants are not included in this offer. Most of the perennials are out of bloom, but fall planting will give them a chance to develop good strong root systems to allow for great spring bloom. Please add a message on your order including your first, second, and third choices for a free plant. We also have a few gorgeous large hanging baskets which, although not included in the special offer, will really add color to your porch or patio.



    We still have lots and lots of summer vegetables on the market. This week we have zucchini, tomatoes, summer squash, red potatoes, peppers, onions, okra, lettuce, cabbage, and cucumbers. Local milk and eggs; pork and chicken cuts; and more are available here! Three types of dried herbs and eight of fresh are also available to flavor those dishes!
