Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products!





Manchester Locally Grown market


We always have a few new farmers, waiting their turn to join our market and offer their wonderful products to all our customers. In order to add more farmers, we feel it would be best to grow our customer base a bit. We want to be able to offer you and your friends some new local farm products.

The farmers and market managers would really appreciate your efforts to help spread the word about our fantastic market. What a great local resource for fresh, local farm products. Please pick up a few business cards to hand out to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Advertising is very expensive, and we want to use our slim market funds in a responsible manner.

Good morning!


Welcome to this week’s offerings from your online farmers’ market. Everything you see on our website is the “cream of the crop” from local farmers, the best products picked and made with pride especially for YOU! When you place an order with our farms, you know you are supporting your friends and neighbors, most located within 30 miles of Manchester, Tennessee.

The market will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm.

Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”



Farm News of the Week








Flying S Farm has added Butterhead Lettuce “Nevada”.



From Linda Reed at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

It’s time for a big sale at *Dogwood Valley Greenhouse! Tomato plants in 4 inch square pots will be $2, or 3 plants for $5. (The selection for 3 plants is listed separately.) Please leave a message to the farmer telling me which variety(ies) you would prefer. I have Abe Lincoln, Better Boy, Early Girl, and Large Red Cherry. Mix and match for the special, and if you order 6, I’ll throw in an extra one for free. It’s time these good healthy young plants leave my greenhouse and find a good garden to grow in!




From Lois Casey of Casey Farms:
We have our equipment working again.
Sorry for any inconvenience.



Altamont Mennonites have fresh greenhouse-grown local tomatoes, as well as grass-fed, grain-finished, 90/10 ground beef.


From Amy Rae at Solace Farm:
We still have garlic scapes, but it’s probably the last week so stock up! They keep very well in the fridge, similar to broccoli you may want to trim the cut ends after several days of storage but they’ll remain delicious for many days. This is such a versatile veggie – oven-roasted, sautéed, pesto, diced as green onion in any dish, pickled – it’s all delicious.

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.

More new farmers are considering joining our market, if they can expect enough sales to help pay their transportation costs. Please help us grow the market by sharing this e-mail with your friends and inviting them to give us a try. 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 & Michael

Here is the complete list for this week.

Stones River Market:  Market Is Back Open - Major Announcement This Week


Welcome to June. The Market is back open this morning and I have an announcement to make.

Starting this week Catherine Simmons is the new Market Manager. We are lucky to have her. You may know Catherine and Ben from Flying S Farms and their eggs, produce, baked goods and jams. Catherine has been with the Market since we began and has been one of the Market’s strongest supporters. Catherine has also been promoting farmer’s markets throughout Middle Tennessee for many years. Please give Catherine your support and gratitude as she learns the Market’s operations.

I want to thank Tracey and Ashleigh for their services these past couple of years since I had to step away from the Market. They will continue selling through Botanical Harmony and Homestead Farm. You will probably see Tracey’s sons assisting as needed.

I also want to thank Linda Reed (Dogwood Valley Greenhouse) and Michael Raines (Frontier Family Farm) for helping us through this transition.

I want to thank all our customers for your support as we complete our tenth year of operations.

I hope to see you soon.

Baked Goods with Organic ingredients
Pastured Eggs
See all products

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30pm!

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!
