Good morning, everyone,
Welcome to another week of shopping at Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market. We are now open for ordering.
A message from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
DOGWOOD VALLEY GREENHOUSE is taking orders through December 22 for beautiful Christmas kissing balls. Made with live greens and other natural materials, these balls are about 18" in diameter and come in three styles, shown on the market. Each one is mounted on a sturdy hanger and includes a festive red ribbon bow. They are suitable to hang on a shepherd’s crook or from a chain for a beautiful outside Christmas decoration.
Make a collection of common culinary herbs to give as a gift or to keep for yourself. We have a good selection of herbs available and have expanded the list from last year’s description.
Mints (chocolate, peppermint, pineapple [variegated], spearmint, grapefruit)
Oregano (Greek or variegated)
Rue
Rosemary
Sage, Garden
Thyme (Lemon, English, silver-edged, citrus, lime)
Lemon balm
Stevia (small but healthy)
Please see the description under “Planters and Baskets,” and specify your choice of herbs. If intended as a gift, please order your herb collection early to allow time for custom preparation. Includes planter and will make a unique living Christmas centerpiece as well.
White City Produce and Greenhouses has added beautiful Christmas cacti to the market this week. Their cider and jelly are just some of the great locally-produced Christmas gifts we have on the market. Other good gift ideas from various farmers include herbal bath & body products, local honey, and handmade craft items. Don’t forget the delicious local baked goods, pork products, fresh-laid chicken & duck eggs, and fabulous winter vegetables on our market. Give them a try! Also remember our Gift Certificates available in any denomination for Christmas or other gifts.
And lastly, let us know if you are interested in a beautiful live Christmas wreath, made in three sizes and decorated by Petalland in Moore County. These are not currently listed on the market, but arrangements can be made to have them delivered to our market if you would like one.
