Week 25 - October 20th
Hello MP Market Goers!
It’s Fall Art Tour weekend! Come on out and shop the galleries of Mineral Point. You are bound to find something for anyone and everyone. Personally I love Mineral Point, there is so much creativity abounding all throughout town. And it’s not just me, Mineral Point has won numerous awards for Best Town! Even one of our very own vendors has been recently recognized! Check out Cook’s Woods and what they have been up to on the farm.
On a sad note… the end of the Mineral Point Market season is here and Saturday is the last market. What a year it has been though. We have had some hot and dry days this season, but thankfully we now have some rain. We received 2.5” last weekend at the Patch. Whew, that should help to winterize the plants and make everything fruitful again next year.
As vendors we really want to say thank you for coming out to the Mineral Point Market! Rain or Shine, Cold or Hot, Breezy or Calm, you know we will be there (just like last weekend). We are so grateful for you our customers and we love being able to provide you with local products. Many of the vendors provide their products year-round so if you are in need please do not hesitate to give them a call; contact information is listed on the Vendor Page.
Have a great winter everyone! We hope to see you Saturday and again next May!
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!Chestnut Hill Studio

Marr's Valley View Farms
Marr's Valley View Farms
This week is the last scheduled Market of 2012. THANK YOU
to all of you, our loyal customers for supporting both us and the Market. We
would not be here without you. I've been saying it for a few weeks, but NOW is
the time to give serious thought to stocking up on your favorite cuts. Marr's
Valley View Farms offers a wide variety of high quality, flavorful, Pork and
Black Angus Beef products available for your eating enjoyment. Or consider
joining our Meat CSA for the Winter. Ask us on Saturday for details and how to
join.
The season for favorite home cooked meals is upon us. We
are fully stocked with great roasts ready for the slow cooker. Pair with some
veggies and potatoes from our fellow Market vendors and you are all set for a
comforting home cooked meal. A friendly
reminder that our meats are available 7 days a week, year round, with just an
e-mail or phone call. Yes, we've even come to the rescue on Christmas as a
result of a somewhat overdone roast! You can also order a variety of our meats
for weekly pick-up through Rink DaVee's online ordering website -www.greensq.net. Remember - when you dine on Marr's Valley View Farms meats, rest assured you are
eating naturally lean meats - fresh pork and beef products direct from a local
farm to you. The only stop in-between us and the consumer is the State
inspected processing facility. If you
are ready to stock up or just want to pre-order for pick-up at market, e-mail
your order to federman@charter.net by
5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 14th. See you Saturday a.m. - Mike, Lois &

Matchbook Magnets
I will be at the market this week unless it rains. It’s not too early to get a head start on your holiday shopping, so if you need stocking stuffers or will be someone’s secret Santa, come by and check out my magnets! They are made using images from matchbooks my Dad collected during the golden age of matchbook advertising – the 1940s thru early 1960s. They make unique gifts and will brighten your kitchen, office or workshop and appeal to all ages. One of my favorite experiences this year was when a young boy stopped by with his grandma. He saw my Collie magnet, put it up to his cheek, closed his eyes, and was loving that dog. Grandma bought him the magnet, and as they walked away I could hear him yelling “I have a collie! I have a collie!” I pictured him getting home, telling mom he got a collie at the Farmer’s Market and her heart skipping a beat until she realized it was only in magnet form! See you Saturday!
