September 12th – Week 20

Scroll down to see individual vendor product offering and pre-order instructions for this week’s market

Are you feeling a little cooped up? Hopefully by Saturday things will have cleared up a bit and we’ll have some sun once again. But it certainly feels like fall now doesn’t it? Which means we can once again heat up our kitchens and make some warm comfort food. I’m thinking, chicken wild rice soup that I make with leftovers from a whole chicken I’ve roasted and frozen sweet corn. Or maybe a good beef stew?

What’s your favorite recipe to cook in fall? That’s this month Market Basket Drawing question. If you’d like to enter this month’s drawing (must be present at market next week to collect winnings) just head to our Facebook Page and post your recipe in the comment section of this week’s post.

Don’t forget to stop up in Water Tower park to get all the ingredients you need for that favorite fall recipe! Hope to see you Saturday!

Two Onion Farm
Hello! Juli is excited to join Mineral Point Farmers’ Market with delicious organic apples, applesauce and apple butter this Saturday. Our farm is 10 minutes from the market by Belmont. Our apple varieties offer diverse flavors and textures that you won’t find in the supermarket. We’ve selected these varieties because they taste great and because they are naturally resistant to diseases. Our applesauce and apple butter are cooked from organic apples grown in our orchard and seasoned gently with spices. We add no sugar. Our apple butter is delicious served with cheese and crackers or spread on toast, bread, and pancakes. Do you like to make your own applesauce? We have slightly-blemished apples for sale at a discounted price ($1.45/lb for orders up to 100 lbs; $1.25/lb for 100-250 lbs, $1.05/lb for 250+ lbs). These are perfect for baking, making applesauce, drying, or juicing. Email twoonionfarm@gmail.com to place an order in 5# increments. Juli will be at the market 4 times this fall: 8/29, 9/12, 9/26 and 10/10. Please specify the date you’d like to pick up the processing apples. Visit our website to learn more about us!
