DeForest Locally Grown Market News

Welcome to the 2016 season of DeForest Locally Grown. And Thank you again to Forest Run Farm for hosting the Pick up site at their farm on Mueller Road. This year will include Rusty Dog Coffee. Rusty Dog offers small batch roasts of 100% Arabica blends. Bauman’s Natural Meats will also be offering their products on certain weeks beginning soon: Brats, Burger patties, bulk burger and Pork Ribs for the Memorial Weekend holiday. Eggs will be provided by Bauman’s also. When ordering eggs, please put a note in the comment section that you would like a dozen (or two), they must be paid for in cash or check, no CSA veggie punchcards. You are able to purchase an Egg punchcard, please let us know if you need one.

Forest Run Farm will have its first offerings from the fields and hoop house: green onions, leeks, spinach, rhubarb and herbs. In the next few weeks the selection will increase. Forest Run Farm also offers vegetable plants for your garden—all started at the farm and grown organically. They are not listed this week but can be picked up at the Farm on Fridays or at Hilldale Market. The selection of plants will include tomato (slicers, paste and cherry), peppers (hot and sweet), herbs, kale, kohlrabi, and egg plant. Note: Plants can not be purchased using the CSA veggie punchcard.

There are some weeks that we are unsure of what will be ready by Friday’s Farmstand. So, we add the item to our list, but keep the availability at ZERO. It does not mean we are SOLD OUT, it means that we may have some of this after all and you may be able to pick some up at the Farmstand. You can always add a comment to your order for items you are interested in. If available, we can add them to your order.

Orders made this week (Starting Sunday evening till Tues at midnight) can be picked up on Friday at the farm from 4-6pm during the month of May. Then, after Memorial Day, it is extended to 3-6pm.

Note to CSA customers:
1. CSA customers can use their punchcards at the Hilldale Farmers Market on Wed. or Sat. for Forest Run Farm veggie and fruit products, please do not preorder using the online market, but choose items when you arrive.
2. Only Forest Run Farm vegetables and fruit can be paid for with your CSA punch card. Plants, eggs and coffee must be paid for in cash or check made out to Forest Run Farm LLC.
3. The CSA plan is flexible, don’t feel you have to order every week, but be sure to use your punch card before it expires!
4. If you are interested in signing up for a Farmstand CSA share please do so in the next few weeks.

If you are new to this market and have questions, please email farmer@forestrunfarm.com and we will get back to you.
