Magic Light Photography
It's been a couple of
weeks since I have been at the market, but I'm planning on being back this
week, weather permitting. I will have a large selection of my nature and
wildlife prints, cards, and bookmarks, along with a book featuring over 80 of
my favorite photos. All of my cards are blank
inside so they can be used for any occasion. NEW this week will be
an 11x17 poster of my most popular photograph, Bucky's Twins. I'm no
longer making photographic prints of this image so this is the next best way to
get an enlarged copy of this image at an affordable price. My photos
don't handle moister very well so I won't be at the market if there is rain in
the forecast. When I'm not at the market my cards are always available at
the Mineral Point Collection located on High Street. You can also view my
work at www.magiclightphotography.com. Thanks, Mike
Marr's Vlley View Farms
This gorgeous weather keeps us thinking about summer and
grilling. One of our favorite places to find burger recipes is
on WI Milk Marketing Board's Cheese and Burger Society website - not
only are the recipes highly creative and use everything but the kitchen
sink, the website itself is quite entertaining - make sure your volume is
turned up when you logon - http://www.cheeseandburger.com/. Here's a direct link to one of our
favorites - Horseradish Cheddar Burger.
Of course the burgers will be the best when using Marr's
Valley View Farms ground beef, ground chuck or ground round. We will have
plenty of each at Market this week along with our full line of Black Angus Beef
cuts and flavorful Pork products. When you dine on Marr's Valley
View Farms meats, rest assured you are eating naturally lean meats - fresh beef
and pork products direct from a local farm to you. If you need a large
quantity send an e-mail to federman@charter.net or
call 608-574-2899 by Thursday evening and we will have your order ready for
pick-up at the market. See you Saturday! All of us at Marr's Valley View Farms.
Matchbook Magnets
It should be a beautiful
fall day on Saturday, and I'm so excited to be back with my hand-crafted
magnets made with images from vintage matchbook covers. It's not too
early to start shopping for the holidays, so stop by a take a look! I
have magnets that appeal to all ages and cover a wide variety of subjects.
They are great for stocking stuffers or as a special surprise with a
card. See you Saturday! matchbookmagnets@yahoo.com
Cindy
Mummu's Makeovers aka Susan Marr
Hi All! Another beautiful day in SW Wis. I hope it holds out for Market on Sat. I am planning to be there, weather permitting. I did find out a couple of weeks ago that the dolls don't especially like being outside on damp days, either, not just rainy ones. Plus my house looked like a Chinese laundry the rest of the day as all of the clothes had to be spread out to make sure the dampness was gone. So I will be more careful with watching the weather! I have been very busy getting ready for Christmas shopping so if you or I can't be there on Sat., do call me at 623-2592 and I would love to have you come to my house in Cobb to shop! You can even bring the dolls along to try things on! Hopefully I'll see you all at Market so stop by and say "Hi" and visit a bit as you check out the new things!! Mummu
Queen Bee Acres
Sorry
to have missed Market last week, we are looking forward to being back this week
with our new crop of honey. Honey harvest went well this years with a few
unexpected set backs. Beeswax will not be available until next week and
creamed honey will not be set for two weeks. See you Saturday morning! Pete and
Fran Demo, Keepers of the Bees; www.queenbeeacres.com
Shooting Star Farm
Checking our records, I’ve discovered that we’ve had just
over 9-inches of rain from August 29th to September 19th.
That’s a lot of rain in three weeks. The rainfall didn’t do much damage to
crops, but rain coupled with the high temperatures over labor day week, and
some strong winds last week resulted in a bit of rotting and shredding of
tender greens like spinach, arugula, and lettuce. Some of the crops have recovered,
so we should have a nice supply of lettuce for this weekend. Spinach is
unlikely. Two plantings will yield almost nothing. Hopefully more by mid-late
October. We still have a few summer crops like roma and saladette tomatoes,
eggplants and peppers. But we’re quickly moving over to roots and fall crops:
beets, celery and celery root, radishes, salad turnips, carrots, green and red
cabbage, napa cabbage, bok choy, fennel, leeks, onions, garlic, Swiss
chard, kale, endive, escarole, chicory, salad greens, and hopefully more
broccoli. Looks like a gorgeous weekend ahead! See you Saturday! Rink,
Jenny, and Charlie.
Sweet Earth Gardens
I am happy to say i will be back at the Market this
week. We will have delphiniums, dahias, sunflowers, zinnias, alliums,
gladiolas and more hope to see you there. Barbara
Tippy Top Orchard
Mike from Tippy Top will have a nice selection of
organic apples, pears, and Asian pears.

Hello MP Market Goers!
Congratulations goes to Michael Smith for winning last week's market basket drawing! Your last chance to win this market season is coming up on October 10th!
The colors of fall are starting to appear at market and in the fields. Corn silage is in full harvest mode and it won't be long until the soybeans start to be harvested. Plus I've seen a few trees here and there starting to show some beautiful colors. I love fall! The temperatures are much more manageable, the colors are beautiful, and the smells. Nothing beats the smell of a fresh pie from the oven! Now for me, well I'm partial to raspberry but I also make a delicious apple pie. Here are my two favorite recipes! Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend enjoying fall in Mineral Point!
Bures Berry Patch Raspberry Pie
Sugar Crusted Apple Pie

Magic Light Photography
I
will not be at the market on this week as I will be displaying my work at the
Driftless Area Art Festival in Soldiers Grove WI. This will be the
biggest display of my collection of photographs so far this year! Of all
of the art fairs that I have been apart of over the years, this is by far the
best! There is great local food, and live music all weekend long and
the weather is looking perfect so far! It is well worth a drive on a
fall weekend after you stock up at the market. The apple orchards in Gays
Mills will be in full swing and are always a fun place to take the family so
you can make a whole day of your drive. The art fair is open from 10-5 on
Saturday, and 10-4 on Sunday. For more info on the Driftless Area Art
Festival you can visit: http://driftlessareaartfestival.com.
Hope to see you there! I am planning on
being back at the market on 26th.

Mummu's Makeovers aka Susan Marr
Hi All! Another
beautiful day (week?) in SW Wis. I hope it holds out for Market on
Sat. I am planning to be there, weather permitting. I did find out
a couple of weeks ago that the dolls don't especially like being outside on
damp days, either, not just rainy ones. Plus my house
looked like a Chinese laundry the rest of the day as all of the clothes had to
be spread out to make sure the dampness was gone. So I will be more careful
with watching the weather! I have been very busy getting ready for
Christmas shopping so if you or I can't be there on Sat., do call me at
623-2592 and I would love to have you come to my house in Cobb to shop!
You can even bring the dolls along to try things on! Hopefully I'll see you
all at Market so stop by and say "Hi" and visit a bit as
you check out the new things!! Mummu

Shooting Star Farm
Fall is really underway here, even if the temperatures say
otherwise. We still have some summer crops, but they are quickly dwindling as
the days get shorter and they run out of steam from producing all summer. New
this week will be a small crop of broccoli (the first of the fall with more to
come). Radishes should also be ready for harvesting. I know many of you have
been waiting patiently for these! Other new fall crops include cabbage, kale,
carrots, fennel, leeks, garlic, bok choy, napa cabbage, celery, and
celeriac (a.k.a celery root). Head lettuce is a bit limited this week, but we
should have a good amount of salad mix and arugula. Also look for beets, Swiss
chard, green and colorful peppers, tomatillos, onions, cilantro, and parsley.
Very few red slicing tomatoes are available as that crop was done in early by
rain storms and disease. However, we still have cherry tomatoes, heirloom
tomatoes, orange and red saladette tomatoes, and lots of roma tomatoes (it’s
time to do some canning!). See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

With the last holiday of Summer now in the rearview mirror,

have to say this one topped the list! I haven't tried it yet but when I
do it's going to be with our Maple Bacon:

Hi All! Isn't this
a lovely change in weather??! Some of the trees are starting to turn
already......a sure sign of things to come. I will NOT be at Market this
Sat. as I'm going to Ferryville, WI for a craft show at Sugar Creek Bible Camp.
It's in conjunction with their annual quilt and antique auction so it should be
fun! If you're thinking of a little road trip on Sat., come on over and join
our festivities! (Ferryville is a little north of Prairie du Chien).
I do have lots of new things again so if you would like to come to my
house in Cobb to shop, just give me a call at 623-2592 and we can set up a time
to do that. Hope you all have a great day at Market! I'll be
thinking of you! See you on Sept. 19th.

Pointer Pantry
was originally inspired by a couple of Facebook posts where regular people stepped up to help someone in a pinch, paying for a snack at Kwik Trip for two kids short on change, buying a homeless man a cup of coffee.
Knowing that summer can be a tough time for some kids when school lunches aren't available, it seemed there had to be a way to help them out.
A few phone calls, Facebook posts, text messages and only days later, Pointer Pantry was born.
One person after another said, "I can do that!" This can-do attitude, many would say you'll only find in Mineral Point, is allowing us to solve a big problem for Mineral Point kids in a really simple way.
Stop by the Pointer Pantry booth on Saturday for more info!
If you're on Facebook, be sure to join Pointer Pantry to keep up-to-date on volunteer opportunities. If you're not on Facebook, you may contact Mo May Grimm at 608-574-3555.

Shooting Star Farm
We are glad to finally have some relief from the heat
and humidity of the past week or so. What a strange few weeks: first
temperatures in the 60’s, then upper 80’s, and now back to 60’s. The fall crops
are happy for some cooler weather, too. We’ll have a new crop of green and red
cabbage this week, as well as some napa cabbage, bok choy, a bit of kohlrabi
(the big kind), and new crop of kale. Carrots should be ready for Saturday,
too. Summer crops are still abundant. September is the month for red and orange
sweet peppers and eggplant, and we still have some watermelons ready to pick.
On the other hand, tomatoes are finally on the downswing, but we’ll continue to
have some heirlooms, cherry and salad-size tomatoes, and lots of romas. Other
items on the table this week: green beans (last of the season – not many),
cucumbers, green bell peppers, salad mix, romaine and red leaf lettuce,
escarole, collards, arugula, beets, onions (red, yellow, and Italian bottle),
Swiss chard, celery, parsley, cilantro, basil, and possibly some radishes and
salad turnips. See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie
Sweet Earth Gardens
Sweet Earth gardens will not be at the market the next 2
weeks-but will see you at the last weekend of September. Barbara

Magic Light Photography
I am planning on being back at the market once again with a large selection of my nature and wildlife prints and cards, along with a book featuring almost 80 of my favorite photos. All of my cards are blank inside so they can be used for any occasion. If the delivery guy gets here in time, I will have 3 new metal prints on display. One is of the newly painted "Thank You Farmers" barn between Mineral Point and Dodgeville. Another is of the sunflower field on HWY 23 just north of Dodgeville, and the other is of this years 4th of July fireworks in Mineral Point. My photos don't handle moister very well so I won't be at the market if there is rain in the forecast. When I'm not at the market my cards are always available at the Mineral Point Collection located on High Street. You can also view my work at www.magiclightphotography.com. My website has been long overdue for an update, and I finally had some time to work on it over the last couple of weeks. The wildlife and scenic galleries have both been updated with a fresh new look and lots of new photographs. The galleries are even viewable on mobile devices now! See you Saturday! Thanks, Mike
Marr's Valley View Farms
Ahhhhh - the final days of August are past - the "dog
days of summer" arrived just in time for school to begin and the Iowa
County Fair. Yes - Labor Day weekend is here with plenty of
opportunities to cook your favorites meats. We are fully
stocked with ground beef patties, hot dogs and bratwurst for your grill.
Ribeyes, New York Strips and Tenderloin are in stock but don't wait to get
yours - we have a minimal quantity - they tend to fly out the door! And
of course, Porterhouse, T-Bone and Top Sirloin are irresistible on the
grill. Bone In Pork Chops are great grilling companions to our beef
products. If you are like us, you are a lover of weekend family
breakfasts that include bacon and pork sausage. Even though it
is summer we have all varieties of Beef and Pork Roasts and on hand. Our Stew
Meat makes the perfect shish-ka-bob meat. Or how about some Beef Short Ribs and
Pork Spare Ribs "falling-off-the-bone" slow cooked and covered in
your favorite bbq sauce. If you are in need of a large quantity
please place your order in advance and we will have it all ready for you to
pick up at the Market. When you dine on Marr's Valley View Farms meats, rest
assured you are eating naturally lean meats - fresh beef and pork products
direct from a local farm to you. If you need a large quantity - send an
e-mail to federman@charter.net
or call 608-574-2899 by Thursday evening and we will have your order ready
for pick-up at the market. See you Saturday! All of us at Marr's Valley View

Hi All! Summer is
back with a vengeance and you all know what that does to me (and, may I say,
it's not pretty!). I had such fun spending my last week with Giada b/4
school starts and actually did get to my machine for awhile as she wanted to use
some of her "fwabics", too. I am planning to be at Market on
Sat. but I can't guarantee much enthusiasm as heat and humidity
are NOT my friends. But I am so anxious to show all of the new
things for your dolls. I'm working on winter pj's and nitegowns, fall
dresses, and beginning to build the sports inventory for the
season.....Packers, Badgers, Pointers and even some Bears
sets. I know, I know....but we have so many visitors from the
Chicago area now and I don't want to leave them out. So I am very much
looking forward to seeing you all on Sat. but if you or I can't make it to
Market, remember I'm only a phone call away at 623-2592. You're always
welcome to come to my house in Cobb to shop. Keep cool!!

Pointer Pantry
was originally inspired by a couple of Facebook posts where regular people stepped up to help someone in a pinch, paying for a snack at Kwik Trip for two kids short on change, buying a homeless man a cup of coffee.
Knowing that summer can be a tough time for some kids when school lunches aren't available, it seemed there had to be a way to help them out.
A few phone calls, Facebook posts, text messages and only days later, Pointer Pantry was born.
One person after another said, "I can do that!" This can-do attitude, many would say you'll only find in Mineral Point, is allowing us to solve a big problem for Mineral Point kids in a really simple way.
Stop by the Pointer Pantry booth on Saturday for more info!
If you're on Facebook, be sure to join Pointer Pantry to keep up-to-date on volunteer opportunities. If you're not on Facebook, you may contact Mo May Grimm at 608-574-3555.

experiences. Pete & Fran Demo, Keepers of the Bees; www.queenbeeacres.com

Other veggies on the table this week: eggplant, peppers, onions, green beans, scallions, leeks, green cabbage, kale, Swiss chard, salad mix, arugula, lettuces, summer squash, cucumbers, beets, tomatillos, cilantro, dill, basil, and some cantaloupe and water melons. See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie.
