Blooming Valley
We are sad to say that we will not be at the market anymore this year, as our market season has wound down. It's been a fun market year for us, and we are so appreciative of all of our awesome customers and friends that we get to see each week. If you still have the garden bug (since we've entered into the perfect fall planting season) you can come shop at our nursery where all of our perennials, trees, shrubs and ornamental grasses are now 30% off!! If you'd like to take advantage of the great savings on great plants, check out our website for more info (http://www.bloomingvalley.com/). We will miss you all and look forward to being back at the market next spring. All of our best to each of you.... Ina and Doug Lukas.

Book signing of "When Mom Was a Farmwife" on Sept 20--October 11 and 18.
Former editor of Democrat Tribune--37 year veteran reporter/photographer--author of four books--will be joining us as a vendor this week signing and selling her latest book. When Mom Was a Farmwife harkens back to an earlier time; a time of small family farms of white houses and red barns dotting the countrysides, and mostly Holstein cows with names or a lucky number in the pastures. (The farmer knew just what one to call by name to get the herd started toward home at milking time). In season-we heard the hum of the earth in spring as the farmers plowed the land for spring planting, the smell of fresh-mown hay, hues of colorful trees, oats oh so golden in the fields, and ripening corn. Old Man Winter with a blanket of fresh fallen snow...such sights. When Mom Was a Farmwife, 256 pages of farm kitchen recipes from Mom's era, poems, stories and tidbits. Price $16.83--includes tax.

I have recently added a new gallery featuring photos from my trip to South Africa earlier this summer. I'm hoping to have even more photos added to my galleries very soon. A big thank you to all of the people who made the trip to the Driftless Area Art Festival in Soldiers Grove this weekend. The turn out was great and so was the weather. It was a great experience and I had a blast. I should be back to the market on Oct. 4th. Mike.

Shooting Star Farm
The last few weeks have been beautiful. It’s hard to believe that the summer crops are beginning to dwindle when the temperatures continue to be near 80 degrees. You’ll start seeing more fall crops at our stand. We’ll have lots of beautiful broccoli this weekend along with other brassicas like collards, kale, red cabbage, napa cabbage, and a bit of bok choy. Salad turnips – those yummy small white turnips that we grow in the spring – will be available, too. We should have a good supply of salad mix, lettuce, and radishes for your salads. In addition, leeks, onions, shallots, red peppers, Swiss chard, bunched beets, red tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and lots of paste/plum tomatoes will be available this weekend. Eggplants and cherry tomatoes are on the way out. See you Saturday, Rink, Jenny, and Charlie.
The Old Royal Inn
We will be there rain or shine with our ever popular cinnamon and pecan rolls. New this year will be our homemade croissants - plain and chocolate! If we are lucky, Mark will make a few of his famous Chocolate Chip Cookies to bring to Market, too! Jennifer Bendorf. bendorf@charter.net 608-987-4120 hm day 608-987-4530 wk eve. WE ARE BACK TO OUR SUMMER HOURS! Tues thru Fri open at 7 AM, Sat at 8 AM. Dinner from 5-9 or Fri and Sat from 5 to 10.

The Spotted Dog
The Spotted Dog will be at the market with fair trade coffees and an assortment of delicious pastries! Ann.
The Walker House
Unfortunately, the Walker House is going to end our season early this year. I would like to thank everyone for their support both at the market and since the opening of our historical property. I had a lot of fun at the market this year and have met some wonderful people most of whom have become friends, I am so glad that the community has embraced our spirit and am sure we will have stories to tell and share for many years to come. Thanks again everyone. Chef Mike and the Walker House Family. 608-987-1660.
Tippy Top Orchard - Mike Manogue
It was good to have Mike come to market last week. He'll be back this week - Mike tells us it's been a terrific year for pears. He has an outstanding crop and apples to follow soon. He plans to be at the market from now through the fall.
An hour west of Madison, in Iowa County's unglaciated, rolling hills, lays Tippy Top Orchard. As the name suggest, its trees stand along the summit of one of the beautiful knolls. No matter what direction you approach Tippy Top from; it's a scenic drive down winding country roads. It will take you back to an earlier time; a time of small family farms, harvest festivals, county fairs, cows with names rather than numbers, the smell of fresh-mown hay, and the pleasure of buying the fruit of his labor directly from the hands of the farmer or orchardist who put so much care into making sure that his produce was the best it could possibly be. The orchard was planted eighteen years ago. Mike personally selected the varieties and tenderly placed the slender "whips" (baby trees 3/4 of an inch in diameter) in the soil. Mike takes the extra time to do things right, to do things the old way, the way they were done before the advent of chemical agricultural techniques. He works in accord with Nature.
New vendors are ALWAYS welcome at the Mineral Point Market! If you know anyone that might enjoy selling at the market or perhaps you yourself would, please contact Jenny Bonde at starfarm@mhtc.net or call 608-967-2319, or myself, for details.
Hope to see you Saturday morning at Water Tower Park, Business Hwy 151 at Madison Street, Mineral Point! 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.
