Magic Light Photography
It was great to be back at the market again! Thank you to everyone who came out to support all of your local vendors. 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!

Marr’s Valley View Farm
Welcome to the 2021 Mineral Point Market Season. It was wonderful to see everyone again last week – what a turnout!
Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Our new Pulled Pork was a HIT!
So….you welcomed our newest product, Pulled Pork, with open arms – WOW! Apologies to those that missed out because we were sold out. We will bring extra this week and you can always place a pre-order to ensure you get yours. It’s currently available in 2 lb. packages at an introductory price of $5.99 per pound so now’s the time to stock up. Perfect for pulled pork sandwiches or with mashed potatoes and gravy. Add your favorite BBQ sauce for that extra zip. The work is all done for you – just heat and eat! Great for Mother’s Day – spend your time with Mom instead of the kitchen.

Shooting Star Farm
Holy cow folks! Thanks for the amazing opening week of market! What a fun gathering on a chilly, windy, but wonderfully, socially satisfying day. This week I will have more selection on my table: salad turnips, baby bok choy, spinach (quite limited), red and French breakfast radishes, salad mix, and arugula. I will not be bringing tomato and basil plants this week due to the predicted almost/possible frost. However, you can pre-order and reserve plants on my website here. Place a separate order for plants only and indicate May 15th pick-up in the comment section. Instructions are on the website. It’s been a busy time planting, hoeing, harvesting, protecting things from the heat, protecting things from the cold (what a weather rollercoaster!).
Visit my website for details and to see what’s available. The ordering window is from Wednesday 6pm through Thursday 7pm for Saturday market pick-up. Hope to see your smiling faces again this Saturday! – Jenny
