We didn’t entirely escape damage from last week’s storms, but we are lucky to have high land with reasonably well-drained soil. Now that it’s dried out somewhat, we will have beans! More than last week and probably our biggest harvest of the summer. Plan to make your favorite green bean recipes this weekend. More red tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes, too. They are well protected in the hoophouse and look great. Green bell peppers will be in short supply this year due to some seed germination issues, but we do have lots of green Italian frying peppers which substitute well for bell peppers. More items this week include beets, eggplant, kale, Swiss chard, salad mix and baby arugula, fresh white onions and fresh Italian bottle onions, fennel, leeks, cucumbers, dill, and basil. Very little head lettuce this week. See you Saturday!

July 22nd - Week 12
Hello MP Market Goers!
Okay so our waterways last week easily handled the 2" of rain that needed draining in our valley. Last night however we got over 6" of rain! Definitely more than they were able to handle. We've heard many reports of trees down and power out. We sincerely hope that all of you made it through with little to no damage.
Farmers have to weather a lot of extreme conditions to make it in the end. Last night our crops took quite a beating from all the rain and the straight line winds. One of our plantings of sweet corn laid right down and our strawberry fields suffered a lot of runoff because at this time of year we've rototilled the beds and there's a lot of exposed ground. In addition, one of our pumpkin fields was underwater for awhile last night. Fortunately, our waterways are doing their job at funneling all that water away from our crops and downstream to the Pecatonica River. But just because we've had a lot of rain doesn't mean there won't be great products at market this week. Tomatoes are starting to come in! In addition, the Mineral Point Brownie and Daisy Troops will have a lunch stand offering brats, hotdogs, baked goods, and drinks. All proceeds will go towards updating the playground equipment at Water Tower Park. Be sure to stop up at market this week!
Here is a partial list of items at this week's market:Beef, Pork, Bacon, Chicken, Rabbit, Turkey, Duck, Cheese, Eggs, Lettuces, Salad Mix, Tomatoes, Leeks, Onions, Garlic, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Peppers, Swiss Chard, Kale, Red Beets, Basil, Dill, Cilantro, Fennel Bulbs, Green Beans, Potatoes, Asparagus Soup, Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Honey, Maple Syrup, BBQ Sauce, Salsa, Relish, Bee Pollen, Cards, Perennials, Scones, Muffins, Cookies, Bars, Doll Clothing, Wildlife Prints, Watercolor Art, Coffee, 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.

July 15th - Week 11
Hello MP Market Goers!
Congrats goes to Marcia Thompson, winner of last week's market basket drawing! This week has been quite exciting! We've been able to harvest our first planting of green beans and we dug our garlic. Summer crops are really coming in and farmers are busy. However, we are in a holding pattern right now until we dry out a bit. We had so much rain the other day, 3.5 inches! We always appreciate a good rain on our farm but 3.5 is a bit too much at a time. To combat heavy rains like this farmers plant waterways to grass so that when the rains come they don't take all of our precious soil with it. Here's Bures Berry Patch and their waterways handling the overflow of rainwater.
Hoping for drier days to come!
Here is a partial list of items at this week's market:Beef, Pork, Bacon, Chicken, Rabbit, Turkey, Duck, Cheese, Eggs, Cucumbers, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Basil, Cherry Tomatoes, Spinach, Broccoli, Salad Mix, Kale, Swiss Chard, Leeks, Fresh Garlic, Kohlrabi, Cilantro, Basil, Dill, Small Leeks, Beets, Green Beans, Raspberries, Potatoes, Asparagus Soup, Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Honey, Maple Syrup, Organic Flour and Cornmeal, Bee Pollen, Cards, Perennials, Scones, Muffins, Cookies, Bars, Doll Clothing, Watercolor Art, Coffee, 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.

Do stop by and say "Hi" as you check out the selections. Keep cool and Keep Smiling!! Mummu Scrappin With Joni I am looking forward to another great market this Saturday. My table will have cards for all occasions; birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, get well, sympathy. Sending a handmade card is a great way to say “I care”. I also have some sweet little gift boxes. Follow my Facebook page Scrappin with Joni to see some of the product I will have at the market. I look forward to seeing you at the Mineral Point Market, stop by and say hi. Look for me under the red canopy. Shooting Star Farm Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July this year. The weather was about as perfect as it could get. It was nice to take most of the day off and enjoy the parade through the fireworks. Back on the farm, we’re still a week or two away from beans and cherry tomatoes, but the recent heat will help them along. For this week we’ll have much the same as last minus the sugar snap peas and carrots (more carrots in about two weeks). Here’s our list for the week: cucumbers, zucchini and patty pan squash, mini white onions, scallions, baby leeks, garlic scapes, cilantro, dill, basil, red, Chioggia, and gold beets, baby arugula, salad mix, lots of lettuce varieties including large romaine, two types of kale, swiss chard, kohlrabi, and possibly red cabbage.
