May 26th - Week 4

Hello MP Market Goers!

Congratulations to all the High School graduates! The community is proud of you and your efforts! Good luck to all of you!

It's Memorial Day Weekend and we want to take this opportunity to thank those men and women whose service to our country means so much to the community as well as those around the world. I found this quote today and for me personally I think it says it all. “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God such men lived” — George S. Patton

Things are heating up! It's gonna be a cooker this weekend so it's time to pull the grill out and come on up to market to get some meat and veggies and keep the heat out of the kitchen and out on the deck. Be sure to read the news page as a couple of our vendors have Memorial Day sales going on.

Graduations and Father's Day are also coming up! Remember that our market not only has farmers providing you with fresh, local produce but we also have several wonderful artisan vendors. Maybe you can find that perfect gift for your loved one at the Mineral Point Market while getting the items you need for that special grad party you're throwing.

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend everyone and don't forget about the parade on High Street Monday morning!

Here is a partial list of items at this week's market: Beef, Pork, Bacon, Poultry, Eggs, Cheese, Salad Mix, Arugula, Lettuces, Napa Cabbage, Baby Bok Choy, Kohlrabi, Radishes, Salad Turnips, Kale, Herbs, Beets, Asparagus, Rhubarb, Frozen Sweet Corn, Dilly Beans, Decorative Glass Block, Ceramic Tiles & Wine Bottles, Cards, Gift Boxes, Scones, Muffins, Cookies, Bars, Cupcakes, Brownies, Fresh Cut Flowers, Honey, Maple Syrup, Wildlife Prints and Cards, Coffee Beans, Coffee, Massage Chair, 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.

I am excited to be back at Mineral Point Market. May is the month we honor moms, dads, and grads. I will have handmade cards and gift boxes for each of these events. My table will also have cards for all occasions; birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, get well, sympathy. Sending a handmade card is a great way to say “I care”. 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. I will be under the red canopy.

The weather was beautiful for the first market of the season. Thanks to everyone who came out! Lots of plants went in the ground before this last round of rain (just in time), and even got a bit of hoeing accomplished for the onions and garlic. Outdoor veggies are still behind schedule based on previous years, but more will be coming out of the hoophouse this week. I will have red and French Breakfast radishes, salad turnips (more than last week), baby bok choy (plenty), salad mix and baby arugula (more than last week), spinach, kale, and mixed heads of lettuce. Also, I will be bringing tomato plants for sale (some basic reds, cherry types, and mix of heirlooms). The weather looks to be cool, but there will be hot coffee, so come and see us!

Hello MP Market Goers!

Who's ready to get back outside? This past winter seemed like it would never end! But it's over now, whew! We're finally getting our April showers and I've even seen a few May flowers beginning to pop up! Which also means that the Mineral Point Market season is set to begin!

It's time folks, the Mineral Point Market is back for its 23rd season in Water Tower Park this Saturday from 8:30-11 am. And just because we're a few weeks behind in the growing schedule doesn't mean that there won't be fresh produce at market this week because there will be fresh produce!

In addition to the fresh goodness that the Mineral Point Market is known for, we've also got some fresh new vendors coming to the market this Saturday! Be sure scroll down to find out more!

Here is a partial list of items at this week's market: Beef, Pork, Bacon, Poultry, Eggs, Cheese, Salad Mix, Baby Arugula, Spinach, Red Radishes, French Breakfast Radishes, Baby Bok Choy, Frozen Sweet Corn, Dilly Beans, Decorative Glass Block & Ceramic Tiles, Wildlife Posters & Prints, Cards, Gift Boxes, Scones, Muffins, Cookies, Bars, Cupcakes, Brownies, Fresh Cut Flowers, Honey, Maple Syrup, Coffee Beans and much more. Come and check it all out!

Please join us weekly in Water Tower Park for good company, great food, and wonderful local products.

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.

Following is the list of who will be vending at this week's Market.

This season, each week we will be featuring brownies, a different flavor each week. This week, with the kickoff of the warm season, stop over for a Double Orange Cocoa Brownie. For those of you who haven't had this combination, you're missing out! Also this year we will have a decorated cupcake (for a special someone or just a fancy treat for yourself). This week will be Cookie Dough Cupcakes. For a taste of yesteryear, also featured weekly will be hand pies. This week let's start off simple with an Apple Cinnamon variety.
Don't forget to stop by for the favorites: Scones (asparagus bacon, anyone?) Muffins (lemon blueberry and some friends)
Snack/Dessert Bars (chocolate toffee, cranberry, etc) and more! I'm anticipating good weather Saturday, so come on out to Water Tower Park!
And please keep in mind, that if you need an order for a celebration or just a dinner dessert, orders are gladly taken!

Happy Spring Everyone and welcome back to the market! It finally feels like spring and I sure hope this warmer weather sticks around for a while! I am planning on being at the market this weekend, weather permitting, with a selection of my matted photos, ready for framing as well as greeting cards. I will have a few new images ready for the weekend as both prints and cards. All of my cards are blank inside so they can be used for any occasion. When I'm not at the market my cards are available at the Mineral Point Collection located at 151 High Street. You can also view my work at www.magiclightphotography.com or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/mlp.michaeljsmith/.

Spring has arrived! It’s hard to believe we had snow on the ground just two weeks ago. It’s been a mad dash to get plants in the ground, and everyone’s asking if there will be any produce for the first Market. Thank goodness for a hoop house chock full of spring veggies. Although it’s unheated, the air and soil warm so much faster than outside. So yes, there will be spring vegetables on Saturday. Here’s what I plan to harvest: salad mix, baby arugula, spinach, red radishes, French breakfast radishes, baby bok choy, and possibly some salad turnips and young kale. Start your morning with a relaxing stroll through the Market. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
Sweet Earth Garden and Vintage China
Sweet Earth Gardens will be at the market on May 5th with Spring flowers. Looks like a beautiful day-will be good to be back at the market.
