Driftless Farms
We’re back again this Saturday!
8-Generations Strong! Drift­less Farms LLC is a local, fam­i­ly-owned busi­ness spe­cial­iz­ing in the pro­duc­tion of 100% pure, cer­ti­fied organ­ic maple syrup known as Drift­less Gold. From sap col­lec­tion to syrup pro­duc­tion to mar­ket­ing and dis­tri­b­u­tion, fam­i­ly mem­bers are direct­ly involved in every step of the process. Our goal is to deliv­er reli­ably high-qual­i­ty syrup to our cus­tomers while enhanc­ing and deep­en­ing our children’s con­nec­tion to our 8‑generation fam­i­ly farm in the heart of the Drift­less Region. Our fam­i­ly active­ly man­ages for a diverse and healthy for­est com­mu­ni­ty. At Drift­less Farms, we are proud to con­tin­ue the lega­cy of land stew­ard­ship passed down by our pio­neer­ing ancestors.
Our Grade A certified organic maple syrup is available in three grades: Amber Rich, Dark Robust, and Very Dark Strong. Richly flavored Amber Rich offers a sweet, rich taste and serves well as a delectable topping; think oatmeal, Greek yogurt, and ice cream. Dark Robust is known for its full-bodied flavor. This flavorsome favorite is lovely on pancakes, in coffee as a sweetener, and is fantastic as a glaze. Let’s not forget our Very Dark Strong option. This product boasts being the strongest of the maple flavors; a shining favorite when used as an ingredient in baked goods, granola, and so much more. Here at Driftless Farm we believe our customers should be able to consistently choose their favorite of the flavors.

Our Homestead formerly Magic Light Photography
Thank you to everyone who came out to the market last weekend! I will not be at the market this weekend. With a few egg sales at the farm this week, I don’t have enough inventory to come to the market. I will have some chicken and duck eggs available at the farm or if needed I can deliver in Mineral Point. If time allows, and the bees cooperate, I will be back at the market soon with raw local honey! Keep an eye on the Our Homestead FB page for more updates!
Thanks,

Over The Moon Soap Company, LLC
Yvonne and Patrick McIntyre with Over The Moon Soap Company are excited to bring their handmade Goat Milk Soaps, Shampoo Bars and Bath Accessories to the Mineral Point Market again this year! They will be back on the FIRST SATURDAY of each month throughout the season.
They offer 16 unique bar soap scents with something for both men and women, along with four shampoo bars. If you haven’t tried their luxurious soaps yet, you need to give them a try. It’s especially great for those with issues such as eczema as goat milk and shea butter, as well as essential oils, all contain wonderful natural healing properties.
Yvonne began making the soap for herself to soothe her dry skin. Then she gifted soaps to family, friends and co-workers for birthdays, etc, and from there, it has blossomed into a small business. She is so glad to share this wonderful soap with you!
If you can’t make it to market, and wish to purchase their soaps, just contact them via email at overthemoonsoapco@gmail.com. Or message through Yvonne’s Facebook page; or text/phone 608-574-5458 and they’ll be happy to take your order at any time.

Shooting Star Farm
I’ve been warning of lettuce and salad mix supplies for the past few weeks, and although I have been short, I’ve managed to come through with a decent amount of both the past few Saturdays. This Saturday will be extra limited – but not entirely absent, either. On the other hand, carrots are back! I have a beautiful crop of green top (bunched) carrots from the field. Cherry tomatoes are rolling in nicely, and red slicers, heirlooms, and saladettes will be more plentiful. Other items I plan to harvest include red beets, white onions, sweet bell and frying peppers, jalapeno, poblano peppers, and shishito peppers (so many peppers
). Also, green beans, green cabbage, curly kale, lacinato kale, Swiss chard, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant (Japanese, Italian, AND Turkish), cilantro, dill, sage, parsley, and basil. I’m still looking for Saturday morning help if you or someone you know is interested. I do apologize for the longer wait times these past few weeks, and so appreciate your patience! See you Saturday!
