Chestnut Hill Studio
Prints and cards from my original watercolor and colored pencil drawings include old favorites and some new. I am exploring sky and water this year and focusing on places rather than things. An expanding line up of ceramic tiles will include mosaic back-splashes and table tops. I am hoping to offer custom pieces made to order.
I will have Jewelry only until the current inventory is sold out. Anyone interested in private watercolor painting lesson please stop by. I teach two people at a time at the rate of $10/hour each. My course is eight lessons long.
Carey's Greenhouse
I will have a wide variety of perennial and native plants, most of which provide excellent ground cover for hard to mow spots. I will have lily-of-the-valley, snow-on-the-mountain, woodland ferns and violets, as well as hostas, traditional tiger lillies, and several native plants. I will also have small lilacs for the first time this spring. With the cold wet spring my potted flowers are running a few weeks behind but should be ready by mid-June. Thanks, Del

Magic Light Photography
I
am planning on being at the market this weekend, weather permitting.
Once again I will have a selection of my nature and wildlife photography available as
matted prints ready for framing as well as greeting cards and a book
featuring over 80 of my favorite photos. All of my cards are
blank inside so they can be used for any occasion. I have a couple
of NEW photos that I captured over the winter that will be on display as
well. These new photos are printed on high gloss aluminum and are ready
to hang, without any additional framing needed! Along with the new
prints, I also have some new cards. I will also have 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 photo at an affordable price and printed locally!
When I'm not at the market my cards are always available at the Mineral
Point Collection located at 151 High Street. New this year, I am going to
be joining a group of artist at the Hight Street Gallery located at 33
High Street. If I'm not at the market, a larger selection of my work will
be available at the gallery, open Friday - Saturday from 10-5 and Sunday
11-4. The gallery is currently under construction but we hope to be
opening soon. You can also view my work at www.magiclightphotography.com and you can like and follow my work on Facebook. My photos
don't handle moister very well so I won't be at the market if there is rain in
the forecast. Thanks, Mike
It's 4th of
July weekend and we're kicking off July Beef month in Wisconsin! We are fully
stocked with ground beef patties and bratwurst for your weekend cookout!
And of course, Tenderloin, New York Strip, Ribeye and Top Sirloin are irresistible
on the grill. Feeding extra-hungry mouths - go for the "meal on it's
own" Porterhouse or T-Bone steak. If you are like us, you are a lover of
weekend family breakfasts that include bacon, pork sausage and ham steak. Bone
in and Boneless Butterflied Pork Chops are great grilling companions to our
beef products. Even though it is summer we have all varieties of Beef and Pork
Roasts and on hand - all of which are great on the grill. 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? Here's a link to the WI Beef Council's
newsletter and an almost endless list of great recipes for your summer dining enjoyment.

Pick out your favorite and pick up the ingredients Saturday at Market. If
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
Friday evening and we will have your order ready for pick-up at the market. See
you Saturday! All of us at Valley View Farms.

Mummu's Makeovers aka Susan Marr
Hi All! What beautiful
weather!! I am loving it as it's so much like the Upper Michigan weather
where I grew up! And the best part is it sounds like this will continue
for a few more days......which is great as that means I will be at Market this
Sat. July 2. Do stop by and say "Hi" and see all of the new
clothes for the dolls! I am busy, busy this week so will have LOTS
of new things. Included will be beach sets*, more sun dresses and new
"handkerchief skirt" sets! They are such fun to make and really
very cute. Also new fabrics for the "Seat belt Buddies".
So check them out!! If you can't be at Market and need a gift, feel
free to call (623-2592) and we can set up a time for you to come to my house in
Cobb and do your shopping there! Have a great week and safe
holiday. Celebrate our country! Mummu *In
case I forget to remind you when you purchase beach sets, do NOT put your dolls
in water!! They do not swim and they don't like to be in the
sun. Keep them healthy and happy!!!
Platteville Sunflower Oil Company
Hello Mineral Point Farmers market goers! We are pleased to announce that the Platteville Sunflower Oil Company will now be available to you this summer! We are a nonprofit organization that is almost completely ran by students at UW-Platteville. We don’t get any compensation for running this new small business other than the great work experience and meeting the many amazing people of southwest Wisconsin. Compared to some of the other vendors we are only going to retail Sunflower oil, and maybe the occasional brownie sample here and there! Our Sunflowers are grown with certified organic sunflower seeds from here in Wisconsin's Driftless Region by two local farmers, from there they go to a place north of Madison where it is cold pressed in bulk just to turn around and come back to Platteville where it is bottled by the UW-Platteville students. Sunflower oil is a healthy alternative to olive oil. It has a light nutty flavor that brings a unique and artisan taste to the many different baked goods, sautéed vegetables, and boiled/baked meats. By being locally grown it has less of a carbon footprint that can’t be said by other oils and name brands. Additionally, all profits from the sales of our oil help to fund sustainability and renewable energy related education and community engagement projects throughout southwestern Wisconsin. There will be one or more of our board members available this weekend that will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have for our organization or our Sunflower oil. We welcome you to stop by, see you Saturday!
Pointer Pantry
Pointer Pantry will be selling coffee (regular and decaf) on Sat, 7/2 at Farmer's Market 8-11.
$2/Cup or any donation amount
We also have mugs donated by local potters for sale at $25 each (all proceeds to Pointer Pantry).
Pointer Pantry is a 501c3 (donations are tax deductible), which provides gift certificates to Mineral Point students at risk for being hungry when school is not in session. These gift certificates are good for two weeks and can redeemed at Point Foods for anything except alcohol or tobacco products. Pointer Pantry only pays Point Foods for redeemed gift certificates. Anyone who has questions can reach out to Mo May Grimm at 608-574-3555.
Queen Bee Acres
Sorry to report but we will not be at market until Saturday, July 9th. We will have fresh creamed honey on our return.

Shooting Star Farm
New vegetables are coming in every week, and are table

beautiful, fresh mini onions. These are about two-inches in diameter with green
tops. Perfect for grilling, salads, or just about anything. Cucumbers are in
great supply, too. How about cucumber and onion salad? We’ll have a limited
supply of sugar snap peas (not a good crop this year), so come early if you
want some. Other items this week include kale, Kossack kohlrabi (the big kind),
zucchini and summer squash, fennel, collards, lettuce heads, arugula, salad

June 25th - Week 8
Hello MP Market Goers!
So several of us were quite worried about the storms they were predicting on Wednesday. Fortunately they passed just south of us leaving our crops still a little thirsty for water but not beaten down by baseball size hail as occurred in northern Minnesota. So we are sighing relief. And since our weather has been good to us we are finding new items ready and waiting to be harvested and brought to market.
New this week is zuccini and summer squash as well as garlic scapes. Garlic scapes are fun and easy to work with; here is a great recipe for Sauteed Summer Squash and Garlic Scapes.
For the next few weeks our vendors will be in different locations due to the sidewalk repair going on in Water Tower Park. Be sure to look around; more than likely your favorite vendor is there but just in a different location.
Here is a partial list of items at this week's market: Beef, Pork, Chicken, Eggs, Honey, Handmade Doll Clothes, Maple Syrup, Asparagus Soup, Strawberries, Sugar Snap Peas, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Cucumbers, Carrots, Beets, Broccoli, Kale, Kohlrabi, Fennel, Napa Cabbage, Radishes, Scallions, Garlic Scapes, Basil, Dill, Cilantro, Lettuce, Watercolor paintings and artwork, Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Sunflower Oil, Perennial Plants, Yard Art, Baked Goods, Bread, Salsa, Jam, BBQ Sauce, Fresh Cut Flowers, and much more. Come and check it all out!
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.

Hi All! It has been another busy week for me as we
had Giada with us for 3 days again. Also I was able to spend time with
Haydn, too last nite to take both grandchildren to see "Finding
Dory". Cute movie! And what a treat it was for me to
spend time with both of them together! But I will have a couple of days
to sew for the dolls now and will have several new items on Sat. I do
plan to be at Market, weather permitting, as always. Sounds ok at this
time. I can't say what I might focus on for new items so you will have to
stop by and find out!! I did have a couple of shoppers come to my house
recently to shop so do keep that in mind. If you need a birthday (or any
other) gift, feel free to call and we can set up a time that works for both of
us for you to come to Cobb. My phone number is still 623-2592 and I am
very easy to find. I look forward to seeing everyone this Sat. June
25. Remember to support our local dairy farmers all the time but
especially now during Dairy Month!! See you on Sat!!

quick note re: Market next Sat. June18. As of right now I do plan to be
there.....as long as the weather cooperates. It looks good at this
point. I have Giada with me for most of this week so I don't know how
much sewing I'll get done. As I've said in the past "Grandchildren
do trump pretty much everything else!" (We had a super morning in
the Burres' Strawberry Patch on Monday and have been enjoying fresh berries
galore!!) So if you are at Market and I am too, do stop by and say
"Hi". There may be new items for the dolls....probably
something with strawberry fabric or maybe patriotic for the 4th of
July??? Check it out!! Looking forward to seeing you on
Sat. Have a great week! Mummu
Platteville Sunflower Oil Company
Hello Mineral Point Farmers market goers! We are pleased to announce that the Platteville Sunflower Oil Company will now be available to you this summer! We are a nonprofit organization that is almost completely ran by students at UW-Platteville. We don’t get any compensation for running this new small business other than the great work experience and meeting the many amazing people of southwest Wisconsin. Compared to some of the other vendors we are only going to retail Sunflower oil, and maybe the occasional brownie sample here and there! Our Sunflowers are grown with certified organic sunflower seeds from here in Wisconsin's Driftless Region by two local farmers, from there they go to a place north of Madison where it is cold pressed in bulk just to turn around and come back to Platteville where it is bottled by the UW-Platteville students. Sunflower oil is a healthy alternative to olive oil. It has a light nutty flavor that brings a unique and artisan taste to the many different baked goods, sautéed vegetables, and boiled/baked meats. By being locally grown it has less of a carbon footprint that can’t be said by other oils and name brands. Additionally, all profits from the sales of our oil help to fund sustainability and renewable energy related education and community engagement projects throughout southwestern Wisconsin. There will be one or more of our board members available this weekend that will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have for our organization or our Sunflower oil. We welcome you to stop by, see you Saturday!

Shooting Star Farm
What a storm Tuesday night! We got about 3 inches of rain
but others had 4 or more. Glad we got some weeding done first, because it’ll be
a while before things dry out. Lots more variety of crops for this week. Here’s
the list: scallions, bunched carrots, kale, kohlrabi (the smaller, earlier
variety), fennel, beets, cucumbers (limited supply), napa cabbage, dill,
cilantro, basil, plus all the usual beautiful lettuces, salad mix, baby
arugula, radishes, and salad turnips. Should be a beautiful summer day. See you
Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

Chestnut Hill Studio
Prints and cards from my original watercolor and colored pencil drawings include old favorites and some new. I am exploring sky and water this year and focusing on places rather than things. An expanding line up of ceramic tiles will include mosaic back-splashes and table tops. I am hoping to offer custom pieces made to order.
I will have Jewelry only until the current inventory is sold out. Anyone interested in private watercolor painting lesson please stop by. I teach two people at a time at the rate of $10/hour each. My course is eight lessons long.
Carey's Greenhouse
I will have a wide variety of perennial and native plants, most of which provide excellent ground cover for hard to mow spots. I will have lily-of-the-valley, snow-on-the-mountain, woodland ferns and violets, as well as hostas, traditional tiger lillies, and several native plants. I will also have small lilacs for the first time this spring. With the cold wet spring my potted flowers are running a few weeks behind but should be ready by mid-June. Thanks, Del
Evelyn's Gardens
Tom will be at market this Saturday with our wide selection of Perennials and yard art. Please call if you need more information about what plants we will be bringing each week. 608-967-2261

James' Pine Valley Farm

We will be back at
market this week with our soaps and solid lotion bars! We will only be at the
market 2 Saturdays a month this year due to our growing family so stock up on
Saturday!
Did you know this week is dairy goat awareness week? So try something different
and get some goat cheese if you are at the grocery store. My personal favorite
is Montcherve's blueberry log it's great with crackers! See you Saturday! Clare Heberlein
Magic Light Photography
I
am planning on being at the market this weekend, weather permitting.
Once again I will have a selection of my nature and wildlife photography
available as matted prints ready for framing as well as greeting
cards and a book featuring over 80 of my favorite photos. All
of my cards are blank inside so they can be used for any occasion. I
have a couple of NEW photos that I captured over the winter that will be on
display as well. These new photos are printed on high gloss aluminum and
are ready to hang, without any additional framing needed! Along with
the new prints, I also have some new cards. I will also have 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 photo at an affordable price and printed locally!
When I'm not at the market my cards are always available at the Mineral
Point Collection located at 151 High Street. New this year, I am going to
be joining a group of artist at the Hight Street Gallery located at 33 High
Street. If I'm not at the market, a larger selection of my work will
be available at the gallery, open Friday - Saturday from 10-5 and Sunday
11-4. The gallery is currently under construction but we hope to be
opening soon. You can also view my work at www.magiclightphotography.com and you can like and follow my work on Facebook. My photos don't
handle moister very well so I won't be at the market if there is rain in the
forecast. Thanks, Mike

Mummu's Makeovers aka Susan Marr
Hi All!! I am finally
ready to be at Market on a pretty regular basis for the summer. I did
make it last week and it was so nice to see many familiar faces and I met
several new friends. Right now everything I will be bringing will be NEW
from last season including hoodies for the dolls and the big item is the
"Seat Belt Buddy". I started making them when Giada went into a
booster seat in the car and didn't want to use her shoulder seat belt because
"I don't like the way it feels". Thus was born the "Buddy".
Do stop by and see them! They are nicely padded, using Velcro they attach
to any seat belt (and are left on the belt all the time so you never have to
look for them), are washable, reversible and a large variety of fabrics,
including Badgers, Packers, Frozen, Nascar, Barbie, dinosaurs, cats, dogs, etc.
etc. etc. BUT.....they aren't just for little ones. I use mine all
the time now. If you have to commute to work daily, travel to see the
family, go on road trips, or just running to the grocery store, you will
more than likely appreciate how much more comfortable the seat belt across your
shoulder/neck will be. So I will be adding more fabrics all the time to
accommodate more interests. They might as well be nice looking,
too!! Anyway, I do plan to be at Market this Sat., June 11 so I hope to
see you all there! Do stop by and say Hi and let's get caught up!!
See you there!! Mummu

Shooting Star Farm
It’s been a busy week getting in the last of the
summer crops, working on trellising tomatoes, hoeing, and seeding the fall
crops like cabbage and cauliflower. Plus, we’ve been irrigating again after
some very windy, drying days. Greens will be the main item again at this week’s
market: lettuce galore (gorgeous and lots of variety), spinach, salad mix, and
arugula (hopefully). We should have some kale coming in, too. Radishes and
Salad turnips should be plentiful again this week. Plus we may be digging
carrots from our hoophouse! Also look for rhubarb, cilantro, dill, basil, and
possibly some more green garlic. Should be a beautiful morning, so stop by and
get a cup of coffee from the Pointer Pantry folks! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie
