Hello MP Market goers!

The last Mineral Point Market of the season is here, though there are some rumblings of continuing indoors so keep your eyes and ears open for more information! Just a reminder, due to the construction in Library Park we will NOT be having our final market of the season in Library Park. Instead, it will be in Watertower Park as it is every week.

Congratulations to Leslie Damaso winner of the final market basket giveaway!

I feel so fortunate that we have such a wonderful market in Mineral Point that provides us with fresh, local products for twenty-four weeks out of the year (maybe even longer if you managed to get some of it in your freezer)! I am also so grateful I am a vendor there and that I get to spend my Saturday mornings with all of you. Thank you so much for your support and interest in all the vendors at the market! We hope you have a wonderful winter and that we see you again next spring, if not before!

Lots to do this weekend with the art fair in town, so come on out early to market to get all your needs and some of your wants too! The weather looks as though it will cooperate this weekend and give us some sun once again, though it may be a bit chilly first thing in the morning. We are expecting a few extra vendors Saturday, lots to look at and marvel over plus lots of tasty things for your enjoyment!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 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.

Marr's Valley View Farms
This week is the last scheduled outdoor Market of 2011. 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. 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! 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. 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 a State or USDA 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. - Lois & Doral.

I will also have a large selection of hand made greeting cards featuring many of my favorite images. All of my cards are blank inside and are great for any occasion.

You can also view my work at http://www.magiclightphotography.com/. Thanks, Mike.

Mission Abolition believes in raising awareness of the needs of people involved in human trafficking and modern-day slavery with a personal touch sewn into each bag. Look for them in weeks to come.

P & M Gardens
P & M Gardens will not be at the market this week. This is the best time of the year to plant your perennials, the ground is warm and the roots get off to a good start for next spring. In the spring when we get excited about our gardens the ground is cold, this means the plants start slowly and do not produce as well the first year they are planted. We have Peonies, Hosta, and Daylilies ready to plant this fall please give us a call, 608-930-9442 or e-mail us at patcecil@MHTC.net.

Rockwell Ridge Bakery
I will not be here this week. Sorry, work got too hectic for me these past few weeks. Hopefully next year I will be back with my homemade baked goods including items like brownies, crumb cake and scones, prepared salads and sides, jams, fruit sauces and fresh apple cider in the fall. All of the products are based on things I love and items grown on our farm, Rockwell Ridge. We are located just a couple miles outside of Dodgeville and have fruit trees, berries and vegetables that are all grown without pesticides or herbicides. I make everything I sell with joy and passion and look forward to sharing it with you.

Shooting Star Farm
We’ll continue to have big, beautiful heads of lettuce for Saturday’s market. Most years it’s usually done around the 15th of October, but with no mention of frost in the current forecast, it’s still growing and doing fine. Salad mix and baby arugula are looking great, too. This week we’ll have lots of French breakfast radishes, maybe a few red ones, and some baby white turnips. The turnips are a somewhat different variety than our usual, but are still considered a salad turnip and are delicious raw or cooked. Items in the cabbage family include kale, green cabbage, savoy cabbage, napa cabbage and romanesco broccoli. You’ve got to see the romanesco - it’s amazing to look at! The taste and texture is more like cauliflower than broccoli. We’ll have bunched beets, Swiss chard, parsley, sage, red and yellow onions, shallots, leeks, and maybe even a few peppers and tomatoes. See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie.

Supreme Seafood
Molly has moved to Flordia)-:. Hopefully, we will be able to continue her line of seafood next season. Good luck Molly!

Tippy Top Orchard
Delicious homegrown organic apples are on the menu at Tippy Top!

Hello MP Market goers!

Only 2 weeks left of the Mineral Point Market in Watertower Park! Just a reminder, due to the construction in Library Park we will NOT be having our final market of the season in Library Park. Instead, it will be in Watertower Park as it is every week.

Just two markets left! I can not believe how quickly this season has gone. Thank you so much for all your support of the Mineral Point Market! Without you there would be no market! I personally have such a great time at market, I will surely miss it over the winter. That being said, there are two left and this is the 2nd weekend in October so that means it is MARKET BASKET GIVEAWAY WEEKEND! Be sure to sign up by Marr's to win a free basket full of market goodies, it's your last chance to win this season!

Wow we sure have lucked out with the weather! We've had a couple of frosts down here in our valley but it sounds like Shooting Star Farm managed to escape the last one unscathed! Therefore, there will still be lots of options this week! Shooting Star Farm will still have some tomatoes! Bures Berry Patch will be back with their beautiful selection of pumpkins, gourds, squash, and Indian corn. Marr Valley View Farm and Mary Jean James will be back from a weekend off. And I am thinking a few other vendors that have been at shows recently will be back with us again! So come on out to market where you can eat fresh, local, and know your farmer as well as your artist.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 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.

Hello MP Market goers!

Only 3 weeks left of the Mineral Point Market in Watertower Park! Just a reminder, due to the construction in Library Park we will NOT be having our final market of the season in Library Park. Instead, it will be in Watertower Park as it is every week.

Fall in Wisconsin must be here. When I began writing this letter it was cool, rainy, and windy. Now it is sunny and beautiful, the weather in Wisconsin sure changes quickly. Hopefully, the leaves will stick it out through all this wind because they are getting so beautiful! With just a few short weeks left of the Mineral Point Market it is really time to stock up and get ready to hunker down. Many of our artist vendors have their biggest selection now because they are ramping up for the holiday season, so that gives you endless choices. On the farmer end of the market we are gathering all we can to extend what is left of summer and enjoy the fall fruits. There will be plenty to choose from this weekend. So make your grocery and gift lists; come on out to market and savor the colors and flavors of fall!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 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.

Week 21 - September 24th

2011-09-22T16:32:00.007-05:00

Hello MP Market goers!

Only 4 weeks left of the Mineral Point Market in Watertower Park! Just a reminder, due to the construction in Library Park we will NOT be having our final market of the season in Library Park. Instead, it will be in Watertower Park as it is every week.

Things are progressing on most of our farms to the fall theme. It is a beautiful time of year! Lots of colors, it is cooler and easier to work in, plus there is less daylight which means we can not work as long! Love it! Come check out all the colors and flavors of fall at market this week. There will be pumpkins, peppers, tomotoes, radishes, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, yellow raspberries, bok choy, cabbage, squash, ingredients for the perfect pot roasts with onions and potatoes plus pork and chicken and much more I am sure. Personally, I think it is time for soup, did I say how much I love fall? At market we also have a wide selection of wonderful gifts for you or your friends and family! There is beautiful jewelry from DDP Beads, delicious candies from Cocomand, wonderful paintings from Chesnut Hill Studio. Consumable item also make great gifts, such as goat milk soap from Lacey's Lathers (did you know Clare is engaged? Congrats!) or items like honey, maple syrup, salsa, dilly beans, bbq sauce. We've got you covered, just 4 short weeks left though so it is time to stock up, plan ahead, and come out to market.

In addition to market, there is lots going on this weekend in Mineral Point. For those that want to learn something; The Fibre Arts Faire is happening at Shake Rag Alley! Come learn how to do just about anything related to fibre, from shearing to making beautiful scarfs. To find out more visit: http://www.my-distraction.com/ . For those that want to kick back and enjoy the evening there are two musical options available. Mineral Point's very own Point Five (Paul Biere, Aaron Dunn, Monica Dunn, Andy Harch, and Carole Spelic') will be celebrating the release of their first CD at the Midway Bar and Grill Saturday night from 7-8:30. Visit http://www.pointfiveband.com for more info. I did say there were two options...Charlie Brooks will also be playing Saturday night at 8pm at the Opera House for tickets or more info visit http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/192318. Options, usually a good thing, probably not so much in this case.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 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.

Shooting Star Farm
It’s hard to believe October is right around the corner! We’re lamenting the (almost) end to summer crops, but there are some beautiful fall crops to take their place. Lots of cooking greens and such: green cabbage, two types of kale, Swiss chard (rainbow and red), napa cabbage, bok choy, broccoli, and spinach (great for cooking or salads). For salads we’ll have gorgeous large heads of lettuce, lots of salad mix, some radicchio chicory, and baby arugula. The beets are delicious this fall, and radishes are juicy, crisp, and a bit spicy from some recent hot weather (we’ll have red ones as well as French breakfast).

Week 20 - September 17th

2011-09-15T09:52:00.004-05:00

Hello MP Market goers!

Only 5 weeks left of the Mineral Point Market in Watertower Park! Please congratulate Sandy Scott for winning the market basket giveaway last week! She will pick up a beautiful basket full of market bounty this week, don't forget to register next month for the last drawing of the season.

Alright, I must have jinxed us with my comment last week about living in Wisconsin. I guess the saying here goes, "If you don't like the weather in Wisconsin, wait just a bit and it will change". Well it certainly took a turn, burr! With weather like this it may be a bit hard to predict what will be arriving at market this week. For most of the farmers at market we will be battling frost for the second time tonight. Sweet corn, raspberries, pears, apples, tomatoes, squash; they are all at risk and for that reason we are frantically harvesting and blanketing to keep everything safe for the warm weeks to come (because you know warm weather will be back, remember this is Wisconsin). So let's just call it mystery week at market!

In addition to market this week Boy Girl Boy Girl returns to the Mineral Point Opera House on Saturday evening with Massive Fireball Reported Over Midwestern Sky. Tickets are available online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/191316.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 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.

Bures Berry Patch
Things are slowing down at the Patch. Some cool nights have hastened our harvests and we are hoping that our delicious yellow raspberries and sweet corn make it through the frost. At this stage we are not sure if we will be at market this week. It all depends on the weather and what is happening with the raspberries and corn. If they make it we will be bringing raspberries, sweet corn, potatoes, garlic, and eggs. Didn't know we were raising chickens? We are...we have 72 laying hens most of which just began laying in the last month or so! Bures Berry Patch will also be bringing our delicious honey, pure maple syrup, and dilly beans!

Shooting Star Farm
Tomato season is definitely on the downswing here. Some cool nights have slowed ripening, and a pretty nasty storm a few weeks ago did some damage to the plants that has spread throughout the patch. Nonetheless, we will have a reasonable selection this week and hopefully next. On the bright side, fall crops are coming in. Lots of cabbage, kohlrabi, red radishes and spinach will be available. Bok choy, kale, and Swiss chard will round out the selection of cooking greens. Heads of lettuce are big and beautiful: green and red bibb, red leaf, and red oak leaf. We’ll have plenty of salad mix and baby arugula. Other items include bunched beets, leeks, lots of onions, terrific garlic, red peppers, herbs, and a bit of eggplant. Looks to be a beautiful Saturday. See you then! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

Week 19 - September 10th

2011-09-08T13:46:00.007-05:00

Hello MP Market goers!

Well after last Saturday's weather, anything should be better,and it sounds like this Saturday will be a gorgeous day. This weather has been so fantastic! So much is getting done on the farm, it is wonderful! However, just because it is nice out now does not mean it will stay nice forever. We do live in Wisconsin after all. For this reason, if you haven't started stocking your freezer and cellar now is the time. This week at market there will be lots of tomatoes, sweet corn, onions, peppers, even some winter squash. There will also be plenty of beef, pork, and chicken. The pancake lady will be back this week so be sure to stock up on flour and bread mixes. Also, don't forget about the artists that grace our market each week with beautiful items that make great gifts (I thought I would never say this in September but "Christmas is coming")!

If you are wondering what else is happening in town this weekend, there is a concert by Richard Weigel at Orchard Lawn Friday night from 5:30-7:30, should be a fun time. Or on Sunday there is a book signing at Foundry Book for Aldo Leopold's Shack, Nina's Story from 2-4 pm.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 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.

It’s hard to believe September is here and we’ll soon be switching from summer crops to fall. For now, the weather still definitely says “summer”, but we do hope to have our first fall crop of radishes (red ones and possibly French breakfast if the heat doesn’t do them in). We’ll have some nice heads of lettuce, frisee endive, baby arugula, and lots of salad mix to make delicious salads. Cooking greens will include kale, Swiss chard, bok choy, napa cabbage, and you can always cook those beet greens from your beets! We still have lots of beautiful red tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, colorful heirloom tomatoes, and paste tomatoes. Other summer items include eggplant, sweet red peppers, green peppers, sweet white onions, Italian bottle onions, and lemon cucumbers (super crispy and juicy - they just look somewhat like a lemon). For herbs we should have a bit of basil (almost done), sage, parsley. See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

It’s hard to believe September is here and we’ll soon be switching from summer crops to fall.

We’ll have some nice heads of lettuce, frisee endive, baby arugula, and lots of salad mix to make delicious salads. Cooking greens will include kale, Swiss chard, bok choy, napa cabbage, and you can always cook those beet greens from your beets! We still have lots of beautiful red tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, colorful heirloom tomatoes, and paste tomatoes. Other summer items include eggplant, sweet red peppers, green peppers, sweet white onions, Italian bottle onions, and lemon cucumbers (super crispy and juicy - they just look somewhat like a lemon). For herbs we should have a bit of basil (almost done), sage, parsley. See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

Week 17 - August 27th

2011-08-21T14:36:00.007-05:00

Hello MP Market goers!

Things are calming down a bit before the big Labor Day celebrations. We have been pleasantly surprised to not have much on the calendar from here until school starts, whew! For us on the farm, things have been a bit more restful because we are waiting for crops to come ripe for harvest (raspberries and our last two plantings of sweet corn). Hopefully, we will have both of them for next weekends activities. Right now though it appears to be TOMATO TIME! Rink and Jenny have been harvesting like crazy and they will have a wide selection this week. Might be time to make some salsa of your own or even ketchup. I'll probably be making salsa next weekend, yummy! There are lots of good recipes on the web; hot or mild, sweet or tangy, fresh or canned. Delicious!

On another note, I can not believe that it is almost September! Kids will be going back to school soon and we will all need quick easy meals to make when the kids come rushing through our doors. Our favorite method of cooking at the Patch is the grill. We usually roast some potatoes (fingerlings) with garlic and olive oil then throw on some brats, burgers, or steaks (and Marr's Valley View Farm has all of these). Super quick and super easy, though we have found that our little guy likes steaks the best, yikes!

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.

Shooting Star Farm
We got hit with a very quick and very intense storm last Saturday afternoon. We didn’t get a big amount of rain, but for a brief period the wind was quite ferocious. Branches went down, lettuce heads got shredded, basil was pummeled, chard leaves ripped. But tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and other crops look relatively untouched. Luckily the storm won’t affect our vegetable supply too much. We will continue to have lots of tomatoes: red slicers, gorgeous heirlooms both big and salad-sized, and cherry tomatoes. We’ll have red sweet Italian frying peppers (delicious raw), green peppers, and a few mildly spicy Ancho peppers. Our slicing cucumbers met an early end due to diseases, but we will have some lemon cucumbers. They look somewhat like lemons but taste like a crisp, juicy, refreshing cucumber (not lemony). Also look for lavender and purple eggplant, zucchini and summer squash, bunched beets, Swiss chard, green beans, kale, baby lettuce mix, onions, parsley, sage, a limited amount of basil, and garlic. See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie.

No peeling or salting, just some olive oil, salt and pepper, and slices are done in 10 minutes on a hot grill (turning once). Or grill them dry and dip in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil and parsley. Yum. Other great grilling items include summer squash, fennel, and fresh onions. We’ll have some large sweet onions and purple Italian bottle onions this week.

We’ll have all of those items including a good amount of eggplant - both Japanese (elongated), and Italian (round) varieties.

Shooting Star Farm
It’s been a soggy week, but crops are doing fine. For this Saturday we’ll have more broccoli, some beautiful Siberian kale, and kohlrabi. The kohlrabi variety we grow can get quite large - in fact as large as a basketball – without getting woody. We don’t grow it nearly that large, but it may be bigger than you’re used to. It is juicy, sweet, and terrific raw or cooked. We may have a small amount of summer squash and some cucumbers from our hoophouse. The plants are just starting to produce. Also look for radishes, green onions, beautiful heads of bibb and leaf lettuces, baby romaine, salad mix, baby arugula, salad turnips, and rhubarb. Not sure if the new crop of beets will be ready this week or next. We’ll see everyone Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

Bures Berry Patch
It is unclear right now whether we will be attending market this week. We were so excited to bring you strawberries once again this year but unfortunately, mother nature had a different plan for Bures Berry Patch. Because of the cool, wet spring our plants have not put on as much fruit as in previous years. This strange season means we are unable to provide pre-picked strawberries. We are so terribly sorry for the inconvenience and we look forward to offering you pre-picked strawberries again next year at market. So come on out and pick-your-own strawberries, there are plenty our in the Patch! In addition, we also have fresh rhubarb, sugar snap peas, baby red potatoes, honey, and maple syrup available to purchase. Our hours are Monday-Saturday 8am - 8pm and Sundays 8am - 4pm or until picked out. Please call the hotline before heading out.

Hello MP Market goers!

The last outdoor Market of the season is upon us - where did the last 6 months go!?! REMINDER - THIS WEEK'S MARKET WILL BE HELD IN LIBRARY PARK - DOWNTOWN MINERAL POINT.

It's Fall Art Tour weekend - lots of activity all over town - and it sounds like the weather will continue to cooperate.

Congratulations to Cathy Kitto, winner of the October and final market basket of the 2010 season. Make sure to stop at Market this week Cathy and pick up your winnings.

The Mineral Point Chamber will be at the Market again this week to promote the Mineral Point High School FFA and Skills USA Local Gift Boxes and Fruit Sale which began October 7th and runs through October 28th. Your order will be delivered on Sunday, December 5th. This is a GREAT GIFT GIVING IDEA.

Hello MP Market goers!

Okay - I, like many of you, am beside myself with how gorgeous the weather has been the last 2 weeks! This is incredible to say the least. The harvest is definitely ahead of normal and way ahead of last year when everything was so wet - some crops never did make it out of the fields. We can count our blessings this year for sure.

We have 2 outdoor markets left. Saturday is predicted to be almost like a summer day so make sure to shop the market before starting those fall outdoor chores. We will be taking registrations for the October Market Box Drawing - the last one of the season. Don't forget to register to win a box full of items donated by the Market vendors in appreciate of your continued support of our Market. Good luck!

The Mineral Point Chamber will be at the Market this week to promote the Mineral Point HIgh School FFA/Skills USA Local Gift Boxes and Fruit Sale which began October 7th and runs through October 28th. Your order will be delivered on Sunday, December 5th. This is a GREAT GIFT GIVING IDEA.

Although High, Doty and Fountain Streets will be blocked off until 8:30, the area around Watertower Park, including North Iowa, Madison, and Ridge Streets will not be affected. If you usually come to Market via the blocked streets you can head up to Business Highway 151 on the north side of town and come over to the Market.

Week 17 - August 21, 2010

2010-08-17T15:11:00.049-05:00

Hello MP Market goers! Much nicer weather this week - I almost feel human again.

The August Market Basket winner is RICH MILZ ................... Congratulations Rich! Remember to come to Market this week to claim your winnings.

Thanks to Bob of WGLR for his annual "live broadcast" from the Mineral Point Market last week. Always our pleasure Bob!

If you stopped by Market last Saturday you saw we had three new vendors.

John and Janet Warrick are new on the Mineral Point local food scene with their handmade peanut brittle. They have a State approved kitchen in their home where they make their candies. Word has it that they will be adding a new Chocolate covered version, possibly caramels and more. I believe they intend to vend on a fairly regular basis.

Trying Market out for the first time were Diane Sterba of Mineral Point and Jack Nethery from Darlington. Diane brought intricate, detailed fairy houses that she makes. She's considering returning to another market in September. Jack brought his colorful, handmade mosaic tiles, planters, trivets, mirrors. Jack's work is top notch, high quality, colorful and just beautiful to the eye. We hope both Diane and Jack will come back and vend with us again.

These three new vendors and their products are a classic example of what makes the Mineral Point Market so interesting and fun. It enhances the already wide variety of high quality merchandise offered at the Market and keep things interesting - makes one want to come back each week to see what's new. For vendors it is a perfect place to "test the waters" to see if you like marketing your products and to receive feedback direct from the customer. For Jenny Bonde and I as Co-Market Managers, it's like Christmas every Saturday, you never know for sure what new products will show up - what fun!

Following is the list of who will be vending at this week's market - hope to see you there!

Bures Berry Patch
BURES BERRY PATCH will be at market this week. Farmer Ed will be at market this week! He will be coming with our first picking of our 3rd planting of sweet corn! This bicolor variety is call OBSESSION and it certainly has become an obsession of Kathy’s. We put bags of this corn in the freezer so that we can eat it all winter long. Now is a great time to stock up the freezer with this delicious treat. For a great tasting & easy freezing recipe check out our recipe at www.buresberrypatch.com/corn-facts.htm. If you can't make it to market this week, THE FARM IS NOW OPEN FOR OUR SWEET CORN SEASON. Stop by on your way home from work and pick up dinner. The patch is open daily from 9 am to 7 pm. In addition to corn, farmer Ed will also be bringing garlic, pure maple syrup, as well as honey. In October, we finish our season at the patch with an unbelievable selection of pumpkins of all different shapes and colors as well as gourds, squash, and Indian corn. If you would like to learn more about Bures Berry Patch please introduce yourself to Ed and Kathy at the market, or feel free to give us a call at 608-924-1404, or visit our website at www.buresberrypatch.com We hope to see you in the patch soon!

Shooting Star Farm
Tomatoes are still the story out here. We’ve been getting a decent harvest, even given the nearly 4 ½ inches of rain we received last week. The outdoor plants are starting to look a bit skeletal in places, but they’re still producing. Our hoophouse tomatoes look very good. Needless to say, we’ll have a nice variety of heirlooms, red slicers, romas, and cherry tomatoes. Look for recipes, too. We’ll have several. Eggplants and peppers are coming on strong. We have a nice variety of colors, shapes, and sizes to choose from. Our colorful peppers are mainly sweet – very sweet - but we’ll bring a few mildly hot Anaheims this week. They’ll add a little punch to salsa. Other items include beets, carrots, onions, garlic, basil, Swiss chard, a bit of lettuce and salad greens (still not caught up after all the heat and moisture), fennel, zucchini, and cucumbers. Several varieties of many of these items. Try something new! See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie.

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. 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 Big Butz 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.

Shooting Star Farm
With all this heat the tomatoes are ripening fast and furious. We’ll have a great supply this week: reds, heirlooms of all sizes and colors, paste tomatoes and yummy cherry tomatoes in red, orange and black. The cherry tomatoes are available by the pint or quart and make a great hot-weather snack. Wet and humid conditions mean lots of leaf diseases on the tomato plants, and we’ve been hearing from farmers friends that their crops are poor. Our crop is doing pretty well, all things considered, but it may be a shorter season than usual if the weather doesn’t dry out soon. Our eggplant is enjoying the hot, humid conditions, and we’ll have plenty (several varieties). Also look for mixed sweet peppers, onions, zucchini, cucumbers, beets, basil, garlic, carrots, and green beans. Lettuce will be in short supply, but we should have some red bibb and possibly a baby lettuce mix. It’s been a tough year for growing greens, but cooler weather is on the way. Saturday should be a beautiful day. See you then! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

Marr's Valley View Farms
Ahhhhh - August - that means the "dog days of summer" are upon us. The weather certainly can confirm that although today was beautiful. If it's a bit to hot to cook in the house - we are fully stocked with ground beef patties, hot dogs and bratwurst for your grill. Ribeyes are back 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, Tenderloin, New York Strip and Top Sirloin are irresistible on the grill. 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. 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 Big Butz 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. The only stop in-between is a State or USDA inspected processing facility. No gassing or carbon monoxide irradiation necessary. 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!

P & M Gardens
P & M Gardens,LLC will not be at market August 7th through August 28th. We
will return to Market on September 4 for the rest of the Season. The weather has not be kind to planting this year. It is to hot for the plants to get their normal good start. Fall is a good time for planting because the ground is warm, the roots take hold so they are ready to "Pop" in the spring. We all get into the gardening mode in the spring but the soil is not as warm as it is in the fall. However if you would like to plant now, send us and e-mail at patcecil@mhtc.net or give us a call at 608-930-9442. We will be happy to help you select the plants for your beds. See you in September.

Shooting Star Farm
More heat and humidity means no salad mix this week. We’ve really been struggling to keep greens and lettuce going in this weather. Normally a sprinkler running during part of the day would cool the crops to keep lettuce from bolting and baby greens from dying in the heat. But because of the humidity, water just leads to rot and disease after a day or two. We will have some heads of lettuce, but mostly, we’ll have tomatoes. Good tradeoff! We’ll have plenty of red slicing tomatoes, sauce tomatoes, colorful heirloom tomatoes and lots of cherry tomatoes (tangy sungolds, sweet reds, and yummy black variety). Cucumbers and zucchini continue to do well. We’ve been picking every other day. We’ll have more beautiful bunched carrots, lots of beets, fennel, basil, two types of onions, some green beans, and Swiss chard. Our Italian frying peppers are turning red, which means they’re sweet enough to eat like an apple. Charlie loves them raw. We’ll also have a variety of colorful sweet peppers like pimentos, Jimmy Nardellos, and Romanian frying peppers. Most people are familiar with purple Italian eggplants, but we’re growing some unusual varieties this year including white, long green, lavender, and a baby “little finger” variety. Generally speaking, the lighter the eggplant, the more mild its flavor. Look for recipes at our stand. See you Saturday! Rink, Jenny, and Charlie

Wyman Produce and Supreme Seafood
Liz Wyman and Molly Parker are a mother daughter team bringing a wide variety of products to the Mineral Point Market. We will continue to have Beefsteak tomatoes and Cherry tomatoes at the market in June. Along with our cucumbers, the tomatoes are all homegrown by us in our greenhouses in Potosi. Through the summer we will have seafood from Supreme Seafood including shrimp, talapia, salmon, cod, frog legs, lobster, crab legs, scallops and many more. The scallops, cod, crab and salmon are from Alaska. The lobster and reef shark are from the Caribbean. The shrimp is from the Gulf. The perch, bluegill and walleye are from Canada. Most all other are farm raised in Louisiana and Florida. We will be running a different special each week.

New vendors are always welcome although if we have a limited amount of spaces for each product category so some may be placed on a waiting list until a spot becomes available. If you know anyone that might enjoy selling at the market or perhaps you yourself would, please contact Jenny Bonde at starfarm@mhtc.net or call 608-967-2319, or myself, Lois Federman, at federman@charter.net or call 608-987-2097.

We look forward to seeing you this Saturday morning at Water Tower Park, Business Hwy 151 at Madison Street, Mineral Point, WI. 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. Rain or Shine!

Are you in need of a unique gift for that special someone? Ask about the custom name bracelets that can include names of children, school mascots, favorite sports team, pets, etc. These make a wonderful gift for Mom! Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Marr's Valley View Farms
It's National Hot Dog month and July Beef month in Wisconsin! We are fully stocked with ground beef patties, hot dogs and bratwurst for your weekend cookout! And of course, Tenderloin, New York Strip 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 Big Butz 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. The only stop in-between is a State or USDA inspected processing facility. No gassing or carbon monoxide irradiation necessary. 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!

Shooting Star Farm
Hurray for green beans! They’re finally ready. We have two varieties that are supposed to mature at different times, but they both came on at once. We just started picking them and should have a good supply for Saturday. Another new item will be eggplant – not a lot, but we are getting a few of the earlier, ichiban (Japanese) variety. We hope to have a few peppers as well. Other summer items include green and gold zucchini and patty pan squash, cucumbers (more this week), basil, mini onions, and fresh, uncured garlic (use just like regular garlic, but store in the refrigerator). We’ll continue to have bunched beets, Swiss chard, kale, lettuce, and scallions. Salad mix will be a bit short again this week. We’ve really struggled with planting it each week due to the wet, humid conditions. It’s just not good to till the soil while it’s wet and it rarely seems to dry out this summer. But we will have some salad. See you all Saturday! Rink, Jenny, & Charlie.

Wyman Produce and Supreme Seafood
Liz Wyman and Molly Parker are a mother daughter team bringing a wide variety of products to the Mineral Point Market. We will continue to have Beefsteak tomatoes and Cherry tomatoes at the market in June. Along with our cucumbers, the tomatoes are all homegrown by us in our greenhouses in Potosi. Through the summer we will have seafood from Supreme Seafood including shrimp, talapia, salmon, cod, frog legs, lobster, crab legs, scallops and many more. The scallops, cod, crab and salmon are from Alaska. The lobster and reef shark are from the Caribbean. The shrimp is from the Gulf. The perch, bluegill and walleye are from Canada. Most all other are farm raised in Louisiana and Florida. We will be running a different special each week.

New vendors are always welcome although if we have a limited amount of spaces for each product category so some may be placed on a waiting list until a spot becomes available. If you know anyone that might enjoy selling at the market or perhaps you yourself would, please contact Jenny Bonde at starfarm@mhtc.net or call 608-967-2319, or myself, Lois Federman, at federman@charter.net or call 608-987-2097.

We look forward to seeing you this Saturday morning at Water Tower Park, Business Hwy 151 at Madison Street, Mineral Point, WI. 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. Rain or Shine!
All Of Us At The Mineral Point Market.
