    It's Time to Order from Manchester Locally Grown Farmers' Market


    Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is now open for ordering.

    I thought it appropriate this week to take a quick look at how much this market has grown in the last few months. Here are the new farms and products which have been recently added:

  • Basically Breads sourdough and cinnamon Amish breads
  • Casey Family Farm local creamline milk
  • Doorstep Bakery French Sourdough bread and “Mad Hatter” jams
  • Frontier Family Farms green oakleaf lettuce, arugula, and spinach. The latter two are new this week.

  • Thank you for supporting and encouraging local farmers, and in the process, feeding your family healthy local foods.

    All the summer vegetables are still available, but will be winding down soon: green beans, pickling cucumbers, eggplant, mixed greens, okra, onions, summer squash, zucchini, beets, carrots, and several types of garlic, tomatoes & peppers.

    Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has lots of healthy perennial plants for your garden. Now is the ideal time to plant perennials: cooler evening temperatures (and daytime too!) will help these plants to develop good strong root systems for good winter survival rates and beautiful blooming next season.

    Herbal bath & body products, fresh-laid chicken & duck eggs, and craft products are also available here.
