Open Saturday, July 11th, 8:30-11a in Water Tower Park

Hello MP Market Goers!

Did you know? ☕
The Mineral Point Market isn’t just a great place to pick up fresh produce and local goods — it’s also becoming one of the best spots in town to start your Saturday morning.

Your Saturday Coffee Just Got an Upgrade
If you haven’t stopped by Café 43’s booth lately, you’re in for a treat!
Along with their fresh-brewed coffee, they’re now serving iced mochas and iced lattes—perfect for these warm summer mornings. Prefer your coffee hot? They’ve got you covered there, too.

But here’s another little secret…
Tucked away on the back of their table is a roaster filled with hot breakfast burritos! Available in both meat and veggie varieties, they’re the perfect breakfast to enjoy while you stroll the market.

And don’t forget the pastries! Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet with your coffee or something savory, Café 43 has plenty of delicious options waiting for you.

So this Saturday, if you’re looking to upgrade your morning coffee routine, stop by Café 43 and give one of their iced mochas or lattes a try. And while you’re there… don’t forget to peek behind the table for those breakfast burritos. We won’t tell if you keep that little secret to yourself. 😉

We’ll save you a cup!☕

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend, I know I did.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support all of the vendors at our pop-up market on Friday! It was great to see everyone and also great to not have to set an alarm to get up Saturday morning. 😀
I’ll be back at the market again this week with lots of farm fresh chick and duck eggs. I will also have lots of local, raw, honey available in several sizes. If you can’t make it to the market on Saturday, we will try to keep our self service roadside stand stocked during the week so you can stop by the farm anytime.
Thanks,

Thanks for showing up to our July 3rd pop-up Market. It was great! Being able to enjoy the parade on Saturday morning was such a treat, too. July is well underway and more crops are maturing.

Other items I plan to harvest include red and green cabbage, napa cabbage, scallions, salad mix, red leaf lettuce, mini lettuces, red and multi-colored beets, spinach, kale and chard, a few red radishes, dill with seed heads, some parsley, and hopefully some cilantro and basil tops.

WWB Studio
Wayne Banaszak taught drawing and painting and graphic design to students grade one through adults in the public schools for over thirty years. He is now sharing his artistic talents through his original watercolor pencil drawings of rural scenes from the Driftless Area of Wisconsin as well as various other subjects that complement his style of drawing. Many of the original drawings have been turned into note cards which he markets locally. New to his note card collection is a line of interesting sayings and words of wisdom. All of these will be on display at the market. It is his intention to attend all Saturday markets weather permitting. Rain and paper do not get along, so he will not be in attendance on rainy, humid days.

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