DeForest Locally Grown 2016

DeForest Locally Grown is gearing up for another season of providing fresh local veggies to surrounding communities. We plan to open for the season the end of April. As in the past, Sunday’s email will announce the availability for the following Friday’s pick up from 3-5pm early and late season and 3-6pm June thru Sept, at Forest Run Farm. The Market is currently displaying most of the items that were offered during last season to give you an idea of what you can expect from this market. Deforest Locally Grown is a network of small farms that combine their products together in one market with a common pick up site. Most of the vegetables provided at this market are grown by Forest Run Farm. Sweet corn in season is provided by Ripp-N-Good Sweetcorn. Coffee is provided by Rusty Dog. And Meat is produced by Bauman’s Natural Meats. DeForest Locally Grown is looking for more growers or producers to provide to this market; if you know anyone that would be interested in selling cheese or bread, please let them know about this opportunity or have them contact Farmer@ForestRunFarm.com.

Forest Run Farm offers a Farm Stand CSA which provides you with punch cards to use to purchase Forest Run Farm items from the on-line market. See more information HERE and find the sign up sheet HERE. Egg Shares can also be purchased by following THIS LINK. Use the egg sign up sheet with Bauman’s Natural Meats and choose 10 dozen (shown as Every Other Week) or 20 Dozen (shown as Every Week). By using a punch card, you will be able to choose which weeks you get eggs. You can order as many egg shares as you like along with your CSA share from Forest Run Farm.

This years pick up location will again be hosted by Forest Run Farm, 3757 Mueller Rd., DeForest. Due to the complexity of this market, we ask customers to be punctual and arrive before the designated closing time so that you can complete your transaction by the closing time. Ordering via this on-line market does require customers to set up a free account. With an account, you will receive weekly emails that announce the offerings of the week. Ordering begins Sunday and closes each Tues evening so that growers can pick and pack the orders by Friday. Customers can order as often as they wish depending on their needs. Farmers often have additional quantities of produce available at pick up for additional purchases or for walk-up customers.

Payment is to be made at pick up by cash, check or Farm Stand CSA punchcards. Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers and Farm Stand CSA punchcards are valid for Forest Run Farm produce only.
