The Market Is Over, but Shopping Local Isn’t!

Hello MP Market Goers!

That’s a Wrap on the Mineral Point Market Season!

Another Mineral Point Market season has come to a close, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday mornings and supported our wonderful local farmers, bakers, and artisans throughout the season. Your continued support helps keep our local community thriving!

While the market is taking a winter break, you can still support many of your favorite vendors. Looking for farm-fresh products, baked goods, handmade items, or other local specialties? scroll down to find out how to connect with vendors and purchase their products during the off-season.

Thank you for making this another wonderful market season. We look forward to seeing you back in Water Tower Park next spring!

Stay connected and keep shopping local!

With gratitude,

The Mineral Point Market Team

It has been a great market season for me this year, and that is all because of you, the customers who come out to support all of the vendors every week, no matter what the weather has in store for us. Thank you so much for your support! Also, a BIG thank you to our market managers who do such a great job of promoting and running the market and for all of the things you are doing in the background to make this the best market in the area!
Also note, honey and eggs are still available here at the farm! Always best to reach out before you come out just to make sure we have what you’re looking for and that someone is available to help you!
Thanks,
Mike

Thank you for all your support this past market season! Winter may mean a break from fresh-cut flowers but there’s still plenty happening behind the scenes. We’ll be spending the next few months planning for the upcoming season, ordering seeds and getting everything ready for spring. Be sure to follow along here on Facebook for updates as we get ready for another season. We look forward to seeing you back at the market in the spring! 💐

Shooting Star Farm
My 2026 season is in the rearview mirror! Thanks for supporting me all season at the Mineral Point Market. I love seeing your smiling faces each Saturday and look forward to our brief catch-ups while packing your veggies. It’s the best part of my week! This growing season was challenging with periods of excessive rain and humidity, heat and drought, followed by more excessive rain. But there’s always more good than bad and the crops did just fine. My crew – Madelyn, Frannie, Gabe, and Krista – handled adverse conditions with hard work and humor. Here’s wishing everyone a restful and joyful winter. I am once again wishing for snow. Lots of snow. See you around town! – Jenny
