Ina and Doug Lukas Bures Berry PatchBures Berry Patch hopes to be at market this week with more of its delicious asparagus. If you would like to place an order for some asparagus or rhubarb just give us a call at 608-924-1404 and we will run out and pick you some fresh from the patch. Bures Berry Patch offers a wide range of fruits and vegetables. If you have not heard of us before we are famous for our strawberries which will be coming on sometime in June. At the patch you are able to pick your own berries or we can pick them for you, nothing tastes better than a juicy, warm strawberry. Later in the season we offer raspberries, which are another delicious treat from the patch. Then we will have sweet corn that is perfect for the summer cookout. Fall raspberries will also come out around this time which make this crop doubly-good since we can offer them for an extended period of time. In October, we finish our season at the patch with a fantastic selection of pumpkins of all different shapes and color as well as gourds, squash, and Indian corn. If you would like to learn more about Bures Berry Patch please introduce yourself to Ed and Kathy at the market, or feel free to give us a call at 608-924-1404, or visit our website at http://www.buresberrypatch.com/.

P&M Gardens, LLC. Pat and Cecil Borcherding Shooting Star Farm In the spring it’s difficult to get early salad mix unless you plant under cover. Our salad mix is made up of baby greens (arugula, cress, mizuna, etc) and baby lettuces. The outdoor plantings of baby greens always outpace the outdoor plantings of baby lettuce. So this year we seeded a bed of baby lettuce in our unheated hoophouse. Turns out it was ready to harvest last Friday, which pleased many of our salad mix lovers. We have more for this week, too. By the 23rd we’ll have baby lettuces ready for harvest from outdoors, and salad mix season will begin in earnest. A new item this week will be heads of lettuce - also from the hoophouse. Quantities will be limited on these because many still require more growing time. But we’ll have good quantities of red radishes, salad turnips, spinach (lots), baby arugula, and rhubarb. If you’re going to the plant sale in Dodgeville, be sure to stop by market afterwards! See you Saturday. Rink, Jenny, and Charlie. The Old Royal InnWe are glad to be open again and back at the market! We will be at the market each week with our cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls, traditional croissants, and chocolate filled croissants.

Our maple syrup production this spring was slightly less than average, but our maple open house event attendance was way above average. Many people came to see how we make our maple syrup and sample some maple recipes. Neither Barn nor I will be attending the market this week, but you can expect one of us to be there later this month. In the mean time, you may check out our website, http://www.cookswoods.biz/ where our prices are listed along with our contact information so you may order ahead and we will bring your order to the next market that we attend, or arrange for delivery or pickup at our farm.

Magic Light PhotographyWelcome back to the market everyone! I'm very excited to be back to the market this year with a selection of my photography. I have been keeping busy creating new images over the last several months. Again this year I will have a large selection of photo greeting cards at the market. All of the cards are hand made and signed by me. They are blank in side and can be used for any occasion. They will make a perfect mother's day card! I will also have a selection of matted prints in various sizes available. They will look great as a decoration for your home, or they make great gifts as well. New products from last fall are bookmarks. I have 10 different designs all featuring my photos. They make great gifts! I also have a few 2009 calendars available at a discount. If you can't wait for the Market on Saturday, you will find my cards and a couple of framed prints available at the Collections shop on High Street in Mineral Point. I have a larger selection of both framed, and matted prints available at Phoebe's Nest, also on High St. in Mineral Point. If you're in the Platteville area, I have two pieces on display at the Badger Brothers Coffee Shop. I also have two pieces on display at the Roundtree Gallery.
