Green Spring Fling Thing

Yep, it is that time of year again. Manor Farmers' Market will hold our annual Spring Festival on Wednesday, March 18th from 4 to 7PM. Get your Garden Party started!

This year, as usual, we will have vegetable and herb transplants for sale. Also, compost and the worm dude will once again grace us with his presence. Gardening demos and vegetable games will be provided by The Sustainable Food Center. We will have live music with Chrissy and maybe Jimmy Joe too.

Get beautiful vegetables picked the day of the market less than ten miles from downtown Manor. Homemade tamales, salsa jellies and pickles of all sorts. Farm fresh eggs from healthy chickens that run around in the fresh air and sunshine. Humanely raised pastured beef, pork and poulty from Richardson Farms as always anitbiotic and hormone free. They even grow the food for their animals.

Come on down and join us in Jenny Lane Smart Park with free Wi-Fi access and a fitness zone. 104 Rector Street, Manor, Texas.
