So come on out and pick-your-own strawberries, there are plenty our in the Patch! In addition, we also have fresh rhubarb, sugar snap peas, baby red potatoes, honey, and maple syrup available to purchase.

All of the products are based on things I love and items grown on our farm, Rockwell Ridge. We are located just a couple miles outside of Dodgeville and have fruit trees, berries and vegetables that are all grown without pesticides or herbicides. I make everything I sell with joy and passion and look forward to sharing it with you. Shooting Star FarmLooks like Saturday will be a very pleasant day after this intensely hot week. This week one of our new items will be beets! We seeded beets into flats in the greenhouse, transplanted them outdoors on April 8th , covered them, and hoped for the best. Our experiment worked pretty well and now we have the earliest beets ever. They are medium-sized and tasty. Other items this week will include napa cabbage, green onions, bok choy, bibb and leaf lettuces, salad mix, baby arugula, salad turnips, nice red radishes (possibly a few French breakfast, too), Swiss chard, kale, and rhubarb. Not bad for early June. Hope to see you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie. Supreme SeafoodMolly has an assortment of seafood shrimp, cod, crab legs, lobster, scallops to alligator, frog legs, grouper and so much more most everything is coming directly from the boats in Alaska, Cananda. In the beginning of June I will be having an assortment of peppers, cherry tomatoes, beef steak tomatoes and english cucumbers all grown locally in Potosi. Other vendors we know to be coming include:Natalie Hanke will be bringing salsa. Mary Jean James will be back this week. Papa Bob will be here this week.
