Frank with Manor Honey writes: I have extracted my honey from the cotton fields north of Manor and have a pretty fair crop. I will be adding Cotton-Blossom Blend to the current products--Spring Wildflower and Bee Tree Blends. We will also be scheduling the Wednesday market for the first and third weeks each month until stock runs out(should have enough to go thru December).
Green Grass Meat writes: Cutlets, buy 2 and the third on is free. That's 33% off two or four pack.
This special will also be for the Saturday market. Green grass Meats raises hormone and antibiotic free cattle on green, green pasture grass like God intended. For more information visit their website green grass meats. com. David will be bringing ground beef, a variety of sausages, roasts, steaks, beer sticks and jerky to the market this week
Last week I announced Kala had won the WHOLE OF FLAME, well, you may have noticed I simply copy and paste what the vendors send me. Occasionally I correct spelling, add or delete punctuation. Turns out Kala had won the HALL OF FLAME award for her FIRST place in green salsa and SECOND place in mango chutney. Kala can't make it to the market this week but will be back next week with all her AWARD WINNING GOODIES.
Burt's Texas Garden: Coming to you this week, we will have our delicious STRAWBERRY JAM and JALAPENO JELLY. We'll also be having a CHOW-CHOW sample day. So, if you've ever wondered what it tastes like, now's your chance to find out for free! In addition, we'll have our ever so fabulous CORN DIP and READY TO FRY OKRA again. We're down to our last 8 quarts of DILL PICKLES...get 'em while you can! Come see us. Nerd smile. One of our customers bought some for her husband then came back the following week to purchase ten jars. Get them pickles while you can!
Mata Tamales: will be at the market with tamales made by three generations of the Mata family here in Manor. Pork, beef, chicken, spicy bean and cheese or a mixed batch. Francesca will have empanadas.
Pat the Baker Lady will be taking the month of September off. Back in October.
Gordon will be at the market with peppers and okra and all his wonderful jams and jellies.
Bikkurim Farms with eggs, organic chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, peppers, potatoes, eggplant and canned goods.
All,
Karen Banks is a graduate student at UT working on a food assessment of the Central Texas region. She is analyzing the capacity of the region to meet the food needs of its residents. To do this, she is hosting a series of roundtable discussions with farmers about the state of agriculture in Central Texas to talk about challenges farmers face to sustain a viable business and what makes agriculture in this region unique. The group will also be brainstorming ideas for how to strengthen the local food system. Jules Assata from Shades of Green Farm will facilitate the discussions.
The first roundtable will be in Elgin on September 9th from 1-3:30p. It will be at the First National Bank on 290. Attached is a flyer with more information. If you know any farmers or livestock producers in Bastrop county that would be interested in attending, please pass this information along to them.
Hope to see you there,
Stacey

The Manor Independent School District is hosting a Dropout Prevention Summit for business and community leaders to raise awareness about the dropout crisis and how it affects the community.
The theme of the summit is “Lend A Helping Hand” and will be held on September 17, 2010, from 8:30 to 11:00 AM in the Manor ISD Central Administration building (10335 Hwy 290 East; Manor TX 78653). Breakfast will be served.
We are honored to have Judge Samuel T. Biscoe as our guest speaker.
The goal of the summit is to raise awareness of the impact of dropouts on the community and to discuss solutions.
Participants will gain a greater understanding of the current educational, social, economic, and cultural demands for Manor ISD students and their families.
Our intent is to provide you with valuable information you can take back to your organization or business and encourage others to get involved as partners.
You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn from mentors, community leaders and students about the positive influence partners have made in the lives of our students. For more information about the summit, please contact Lucy Cochrane at (512) 278-4429.

Attached is a summit invitation. Please spread to other community leaders and encourage them to attend.
We hope that you can participate and will encourage other area leaders to become a part of this important effort.
