> Manchester Markets have been a little quieter, but have been really
> fun. We love our new location downtown, and our spot on the green is
> right next to the children's art tent, which is pretty convenient
> for our 3 little assistants. We encourage everyone to support the
> new Manchester market Thusdays 3:00 – 6:00, and we are happy to
> allow our CSA shareholders to pick up shares there (with advance
> notice). In other farm news, we are thrilled that Tim Fisher, our
> beloved excavator friend has come to start digging out our new
> irrigation/swimming pond. It promises to be beautiful, helpful,
> refreshing and fun. Also you may have noticed the half finished
> skeleton of the new greenhouse in our field. We received a USDA
> natural resource conservation grant to build this unheated
> greenhouse for year round production. We had been working hard to
> get it done this spring, but then it fell off the radar when we had
> to get in the fields and plant your food. Now that we are pretty

> anyone wants to come help let us know. We hope to be working on it
> all week (and to be realistic, probably all next week too). Anyway,
> we wish everyone well and we'll see you all soon.
