“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”- Elmer Davis

Memorial Day offers a special opportunity to get together and remember those who have served to protect our freedoms. Whether it’s a trip to the cemetery, flowers placed at a gravesite, or a backyard barbeque with friends and family sharing memories and traditions.

“To those in uniform serving today and to those who have served in the past, we honor you today and every day.”- Unknown

Bures Berry Patch
Our early crops of Asparagus and Rhubarb are showing signs of slowing down. Don’t miss your chance to get some pickled asparagus in the cellar and asparagus soup in the freezer. We anticipate these crops lasting just another week or so. We’ll also have farm fresh eggs and pure local honey & fresh cut peonies! Good news, Farmer Ed’s frost protection of our strawberry blossoms paid off and the berry plants are now blooming nicely. Expect strawberry season to begin around June 10th. Hope to see you all there. At this point, Bures Berry Patch will not be offering pre-order. For more information about the Patch, visit our website or follow us on Facebook or Instagram.

The humidity is subsiding with cooler days ahead.  The holiday weekend is a great time to lay a half or quartered chicken on the grill to go with salad fixins and other goodies from the market.  This week we will have chicken selections of whole, half, leg/thigh packages or breast packages.  Several dozen farm fresh eggs will be available.  Cheese sales have been very good and we will have a variety of Hooks Cheese products on hand.   Enjoy the upcoming weekend and THANK YOU to our veterans.

Magic Light Photography
It was great to be back at the market again! Check out this timelapse video I created from Saturday’s market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTQ2dMgU-80 As I mentioned in last week’s newsletter, there are a lot of changes happening this Spring for me and my family. I will not be at the market this weekend as we will be moving to our new home just outside of Mineral Point. I hope to be back at the market later this month. If you have seen any of my photos on Facebook and would like a print or cards made, please feel free to email me at magiclightphotography@gmail.com and let me know what you would like. You can check out some of my latest work at https://www.facebook.com/mlp.michaeljsmith. My work does not handle moisture well, so my market schedule may change depending on the weather. Hope to see you this Saturday!

Shooting Star Farm
First, a note on preordering for Market pickup. Although the concerns about Covid are diminishing, I’ll continue to offer the pre-boxed option each week. So whether you have health concerns or you just prefer a more restful Saturday morning which leads you to miss that last bunch of beets, I’ve got you covered! You can order and reserve your produce here. Ordering is open from 6pm Wednesdays until 7pm Thursdays. Please observe the $10.00 minimum.
On to veggies!. May and June are the best months for lettuce, and I’ll have lots this week: large heads of red leaf, buttery green bibb, mild green and red oakleaf, plus lots of medium/smaller heads in lots of shapes and sizes. The remaining list includes kohlrabi with beautiful, cookable greens, bunched red beets, salad turnips, baby bok choy, curly green kale, lacinato kale, Swiss chard, spinach, salad mix, arugula, cilantro, and possibly red radishes. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy a cool, sunny morning this Saturday. See you then!
