NEWS AND NOTES

The summer vegetables are plentiful at this time of year, as well as locally sourced milk and eggs. There are also a lot of great perennial plants and quite a few houseplants and hanging baskets. Check out the herbs, both fresh-cut and dried, as well as the herb plants. Be sure to get your share of local beef and pork cuts!

This message comes from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

Thankfully the weather will be a bit cooler this coming week, and along with some much-needed rain, will make very good planting conditions. Our herb and perennial plants are looking very good, and would really help to dress up your garden before your July 4th celebrations. Especially nice right now are rosemary, several varieties of lavender, and all the thymes, mints, and basils. Foliage of artemisia, santolina, and euonymous; and blooms of several asters, balloon flower, coneflowers, late daylilies, and gauras will brighten your garden. We still have several very nice hanging baskets for your porch or patio, as well as ferns for the shady areas. We still have a very few tomato plants for a late garden. How about a very nice basket of potted herbs as a hostess gift for a July 4th gathering?

(L to R) Lotion Bar and Dried Spearmint from Solace Farm, Pink Soldacki Tomatoes from Erdmann Farm, Sweet (Green) Basil from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, Ham Slice from Weaver Farms.

Ordering will be open until Tuesday at 10 p.m., and your order will be available for pickup on Thursday between 3:00 and 4:30 at Square Books, 113 East Main Street, Manchester. We can also hold your order in the refrigerator till Friday, if it’s more convenient for you to pick it up then. If you prefer to utilize this free service, please make a note on your order or call my cell at (931) 273-9708.

Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, all of our growers, local food, and our right to eat it. Please encourage our local farmers by helping to spread the word about our wonderful market to everyone you know. Nothing makes a farmer more excited than seeing new customers on the market!

Blessings,
Linda

Martin's Farmstand:  Strawberry picking dates

We will be open for u-pick strawberries Saturday morning (6/27) starting at 7 AM.
I have just came in from walking the fields. I think that there are several hundred quarts of ripe berries for tommorrow. If I am reading the plants right I see a simular amount of strawberries for each picking for the next 7- 10 days or so. There are still pretty many of green berries left. This coming week is the peak of the season. Set your expectations fairly low, the picking will never be good by normal standards anytime this year.

The wonderful taste of the berries that I ate as I walked through fields this evening is still lingering in my mouth. There is no picking on Monday June 29. We will be open for picking again on Wed. July 1st at 2pm. And Saturday July 4th at 7am. Daniel

Heirloom Living Market Hamilton Mill:  Apology! Market is Open!

The Market is now open…Happy Shopping!

My apologies for the confusion yesterday! Long story short — I was in a hurry and messed up! Not ONCE, but TWICE! I was relieved when Sarah told me everyone got to Market – in spite of my ‘mis-information’. I do humbly apologize for the mess!

Now that I got that off my mind, going forward ALL Market pickups will be at Crossfit PURE! Thank you to Chris and his staff for allowing us the space and the time!

Thank you for your support!

New Field Farm's Online Market:  Harvest begins next week !

Greetings,

The first market will be next Friday, July 3.

You can place your orders beginning Tuesday, June 30 (the website will be updated and ready for ordering by that day.)

Orders should be in by Thursday, July 2 at 8:00. (the sooner the better)

Pick-up will be from 4:30 to 7:30 at the farm and from 5:00 to 8:00 in the lobby of the Union Mill. The entrance to the lobby is across from the back door of Nature’s Green Grocer.

We’ll have carrots, basil, swiss chard, scallions, curly and Italian parsley, arugula, and squash. And maybe shell peas, salad mix, lettuce, and beets, depending on growth rates in this spell of cooler weather. If an item is listed on the website next Tuesday then we’ll have it to offer. If not, then it’s not ready.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Tim
