Good morning, everyone!
Whew! It’s been a fast and furious weekend and early week with kids’ activities. I opened the market on Sunday morning, but have been unable to send a message till now. I’m sorry that this catches you a bit short on ordering time, as I will close the market about midnight tonight. But I want you to know that, barring a catastrophe, the market always opens on Sunday morning for ordering, regardless of whether I send a timely message. See the section of this message entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”

NEWS AND NOTES
Welcome to Just Like Home In Tennessee from Manchester! Donna Slipher has been selling at Manchester and Tullahoma farmers’ markets for two years. This week she has added to our market Hand Twisted Wreaths, and will be adding some baked goods soon.
Weaver Farms has added several types of grape jelly, including single 8 ounce jars, as well as a case of 12 jars, which can be mixed by flavor to your specifications.
Vegetable production is easing off, but these great vegetables are still available on our market from local growers: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, kale, onions, peppers, red potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, and turnips; and several types of lettuce.
But our farmers’ market is not just about vegetables. Please take note of some of the seasonal items available this week: Live Water Kefir Grains and Square Bale Grass Hay from Triple B Farms; Ground Beef from Paccman Ranch; and Scuppernong cider and jelly from White City Produce & Greenhouses.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse is offering fabric-lined baskets filled with three herb plants, each in its own 4" pot. These pretty baskets will make great Thanksgiving decorations or hostess gifts. Herbs included will be those commonly used in baking and cooking, a great addition to any kitchen. Specify your preference of herbs from this list: green or purple basil; lemon balm; orange, pineapple, apple, chocolate, spearmint, or grapefruit mint; Greek or variegated oregano; silver-edged, English, common, variegated lemon, citrus, or lime thyme. Basket #1 is approximately 8-9" round with a handle, but may be different from the picture on the market. Pattern of fabric may vary, but will be fall/Thanksgiving themed.
We also have lots of our regular year-round items: perennial, herb, and fern plants, as well as a good selection of houseplants; local milk, eggs, and honey; pork cuts; dried herbs and fresh, as well as lots of homemade herbal products too.

Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, and your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items. Please encourage our local farmers by helping to spread the word about our wonderful market to everyone you know. We have more variety than many large Saturday markets, and our items will be in your hands on Thursday! Instead of fighting the crowds and getting up early to search for what you want at the Saturday market, check out the wonderful products our local growers have for you, from the comfort of your own computer.
We have some new farmers considering joining our market, if they can expect large sales to help pay their transportation costs. Please help us grow the market by sharing this e-mail with your friends, calling their attention to the later pickup hours, which may be more convenient for them. And if you haven’t ordered from Manchester Locally Grown for a while, please check out our wide variety of offerings this week. Also please let us know if we can improve our selection or scheduling in any way to better suit your needs.
Blessings,
Linda

Martin's Farmstand: Summer Hours Ending Wednesday
It feels good to be almost finished harvesting an abundant crop of all the fall crops. There are only leafy greens such as kale and spinach left to pick. The stand is still well stocked with all sorts of good food. As I was working I got to wondering how many thousands of crates full of produce have gone through our stand this year. If there are 30- 60 bushels of vegetables brought in on most days and this goes on for 150 days that is…. a lot. It amazes me as I think about how much food can be grown on about 25 acres of good farmground. This year we had a rough spring for growing things with a very dry April and May along with wild temperature swings including a hard freeze at the end of May. We had really good weather for crops all summer and fall. The weather was warm enough without being to hot. We had regular rains as we needed them. The fall harvest was good enough that even without a strawberry crop we have enough money to live well and and improve the infrastucture. Thank-you God for taking care of us.
Wednesday, November 18 will be the last day of normal summer hours for this year so make sure you are stocked up for thanksgiving needs by then. Any online orders this week need to be picked up by Wednesday evening rather than the normal Thursday pickup time. The online market will be closed for the week of thanksgiving. We want to have two full weeks to be completely off duty and then in early December winter hours will start. Winter hours are informal. We are always closed Sundays and other days we will give service during normal hours if we are available. DanielFresh Harvest, LLC: Fresh Harvest Order Reminder and Some New Products Listed!

Market News
Hello!
We have some new items on the Market!
You surely remember Twin Forks Farm and their wood fired bread and granola! Well, they still aren’t baking bread (Unfortunately! Wah!) But, they have a great new product of toasted, seasoned nuts for snaking. These are organic almonds, cashews, and other seeds toasted and seasoned with healthy, high quality ingredients. If you need a good go – to, protein snack during your day, these are it!
Our exclusive toffee maker is back for the season! Country Faire Toffee is made in small batches using the highest quality ingredients by a good friend of ours. She only does it for this window around the holidays. This toffee is amazing! It’s a great thing to have on hand for hostess gifts, party treats, etc.
Wedge Oak Farm still has a few turkeys available for Thanksgiving! Orders placed this week are available for pick up next week only.
Don’t forget the veggies! There are still great veggies left, including some recently added cauliflower from Bountiful Blessings farm!
We appreciate your support, and will see you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
