DeForest Locally Grown Market News

We welcome Bauman’s Natural Meats and Pheasants to the DeForest Locally Grown Market. They will offer beef, pork, and chicken along with BBQ sauce. As the name implies, Bauman’s all natural meats are grown on pasture in the open air and sunshine. They are selling select items through this market and will be delivering items to the host site at Forest Run Farm Stand for pick up on the 4th Friday of each month ( July 25, Aug 22, Sept. 26, Oct. 24). Their items will appear at Zero (sold out) on weeks with no delivery.

Forest Run Farm is offering lettuce, greens, blackcaps, mulberries and raspberries. Cucumbers, zuchini and a few tomatoes are on the way.

Rusty Dog Coffee offers small batch roasts of 100% Arabica blends.

Note that CSA credit can not be used on meat or coffee, so please pay for them with cash or check made out to Forest Run Farm LLC.

Friday pick up will be 3-6pm at Forest Run Farm in DeForest. Please make alternate arrangements for pick up if needed. CSA members that pick up at Hilldale should arrive between 8 and noon. All Farmstand CSA members can shop at Forest Run Farm’s vendor location at Hilldale Farmers Market: Bring your punchcard. We still recommend pre-ordering so that you get the most variety.

What is a Blackcap?

It is a native black raspberry; and one of the healthiest berries on the planet. They are lower in sugar than most berries and also contain a lot of fiber (around 8 grams per cup). They contain large amounts of anthocyanins. They are also one of the most well-researched berries, especially in the area of cancer prevention.
