Week 22 - September 29th
Hello MP Market Goers!
Wow, lots going on this weekend in MP! The Cornish Festival is in town this weekend! There is also Pub night at Pendarvis, the Crowdy Crawn at Pendarvis, and the Taste of Mineral Point (which happens right after market in Water Tower Park)! Whew, between all these events and the Mineral Point Market we are going to have full bellies!
On top of it all, it looks like the weather is going to be fabulous for the market this Saturday! We still have some great stuff coming to market so be sure to stop out. However, for some of us the season is winding down so be sure to read through the vendor list so you can know what you need to stock up on when you get to market.
Thanks for coming out each week and supporting your local vendors and farmers! We all really love and cherish this market and its' customers. Your smiles and your love for local products is so very much appreciated!
We look forward to seeing you this Saturday morning at Water Tower Park, Business Hwy 151 at Madison Street, Mineral Point! 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.

Carey's Green House
My name is Delbert Carey and I was born and raised in Mineral Point. I have many annuals that can be used in both container gardens and traditional growing spaces. Because of my time at Pendarvis, English garden favorites such as lilacs, hollyhocks, and hostas are also favorites of mine. I taught pre-school for eight years and learned just how much fun kids can have growing sunflowers and pumpkins. Finally I’ve always had a weakness for climbing vines such as morning glories and moon flowers.
My parents have enjoyed joining in on this little project and they helped me choose the name Carey’s Green House which is an inside joke. After forty-six years of living in the same white house, last summer my parents decided to paint the whole thing Green, and thus the bulk of my plants come from Carey’s green house. All of the plants we offer for sale are either annuals grown naturally from seeds or perennials that are either grown from seeds or grown from cuttings of plants that have grown in my parents gardens for the last 46 years.
I hope to see you all at the market!

P & M Gardens

Shooting Star Farm
We got frost on both Saturday and Sunday nights. The
cucumbers, beans, and some minor crops in the lower fields got hit, but most
everything else was just nipped or survived altogether – including peppers and
tomatoes. The tomato crop is nearly over because the plants are spent and the
cool nights mean few ripened tomatoes, but we will have some for the Saturday.
We’ll also have some beautiful orange and red sweet peppers and zucchini (primarily
from the hoophouse). The basil also survived because it’s in our protected
hoophouse and we covered it. Still time to make a little pesto for the freezer!
There are lots of other great items for this week: broccoli, red and French
breakfast radishes, salad mix, red, green, and bibb lettuce, baby arugula,
salad turnips, kohlrabi, kale, Swiss chard, napa (Chinese) cabbage, green
cabbage, bok choy, fennel, radicchio, spinach, and possibly some carrots. See
you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie.
Turtle Hill Wilds
Turtle Hill Wilds will not be at market for the rest of the

world, and our work hats as land stewards will take us away from Mineral Point

Week 21 - September 22nd
Hello MP Market Goers!
Congratulations POINT 5 band of Mineral Point! I was driving home from the Twin Cities last Sunday evening and who do I get to hear on Public Radio? Our very own Mineral Point Celebrities. You guys did great!
This week it has really begun to feel like fall! We even had frost down here in our valley, burr. On the plus side...we can see the pumpkins now! Things are changing quickly and there are just a handful of markets left, that is right just 5 markets left. Some of us are expecting more frost this weekend which may put an end to precious things like tomatoes, peppers, raspberries, and basil. Be sure to stock up! Remember the market is open rain or shine, cold or hot, windy or calm, we will be there with beautiful and delicious products for your home and belly.
Speaking of bellies, here is a great recipe for chicken salsa chili that I like to make on those cold fall days with veggies and chicken from the market.
We look forward to seeing you this Saturday morning at Water Tower Park, Business Hwy 151 at Madison Street, Mineral Point! 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.

Congratulations Janet Pollock, winner of last week's market basket giveaway! You are in for a beautiful and tasty treat this week. Thanks so much for supporting the Mineral Point Market and all its vendors!
SIX markets left!!! Woop, Woop, Woop! That's right though our tables are full with the bounty from our farms and studios, the season is winding down. Our last market is scheduled for Oct. 20th. Fall is always such a fun time though because we can once again enjoy living in Wisconsin. Not too hot, not too cold. And boy is there a lot to be pulled out of the garden. From apples to zucchini and everything in between, we've got it and then some. So stock up everyone, market will be over before you know it and if you don't get it in your freezer now...well let's just say it will be in mine!
We look forward to seeing you this Saturday morning at Water Tower Park, Business Hwy 151 at Madison Street, Mineral Point! 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.

Matchbook Magnets
I will be back at the market this week with my magnets. They
are made using images from matchbooks my Dad collected during the golden age of
matchbook advertising – the 1940s thru early 1960s. I hear so many
stories from market-goers who see a magnet that stirs a memory. One of my
favorites was from a lady who noticed a magnet for Effinger Beer which was
brewed in Baraboo. She told me her grandfather worked at the brewery, but
not only that, he met his wife (and her grandmother) when he ran into her while
driving the Effinger Beer delivery truck! Email: matchbookmagnets@yahoo.com

heirlooms tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, gorgeous red and orange Italian sweet
peppers, green and red bell peppers, Japanese eggplant, slicing cucumbers,
lemon cucumbers, zucchini and summer squash, basil, red and green leaf lettuce,

Week 19 - Sept. 8th
Hello MP Market Goers!
Wow, just 7 markets left to this season of the Mineral Point Market. Thanks so much everyone for coming out during the season and supporting your market vendors. With just seven markets left, it is time to start thinking about stocking up your freezer for the winter but also stocking up on the great gifts the Mineral Point Market has to offer. Christmas gifts, hostess gifts, you name it we've got it. I for one have become a consumable gift giver. I love giving special, local products for gifts and it seems people love trying something new as well. You can get it all at the Mineral Point Market Saturday mornings!
This week is market basket giveaway week, be sure to sign up to win a basket full of goodies!
We look forward to seeing you this Saturday morning at Water Tower Park, Business Hwy 151 at Madison Street, Mineral Point! 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.

Carey's Green House
My name is Delbert Carey and I was born and raised in Mineral Point. I have many annuals that can be used in both container gardens and traditional growing spaces. Because of my time at Pendarvis, English garden favorites such as lilacs, hollyhocks, and hostas are also favorites of mine. I taught pre-school for eight years and learned just how much fun kids can have growing sunflowers and pumpkins. Finally I’ve always had a weakness for climbing vines such as morning glories and moon flowers.
My parents have enjoyed joining in on this little project and they helped me choose the name Carey’s Green House which is an inside joke. After forty-six years of living in the same white house, last summer my parents decided to paint the whole thing Green, and thus the bulk of my plants come from Carey’s green house. All of the plants we offer for sale are either annuals grown naturally from seeds or perennials that are either grown from seeds or grown from cuttings of plants that have grown in my parents gardens for the last 46 years.
I hope to see you all at the market!

Fabric Fun and Then Some
