For those of you that attend our market regularly, this is no surprise, but the list that follows is what was available Friday during farm stand hours from Forest Run Farm:
potatoes, carrots, head lettuce, slicing tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, paste tomatoes, salsa box-paste toms/tomatillos/hot peppers, oregano, basil, green onions, 3 types of beans, hot peppers, kale, eggplant, bell peppers, ground cherries, cucumbers, patty pan, zuchinni, and beets.

Ripp-N-Good had additional sweet corn too. And please remember, that since Farmer Rich doesn’t spray his sweet corn with bug poisons, there may be a cute little worm or 2 on the tip of an ear. If there is, you will know that it is a really sweet one since the bugs seem to know the corn best!!

So, just because it isn’t listed on the product listing, doesn’t mean we might not have what your looking for. Each week there seem to be surprises during our harvesting.

For those of you with a FRF Farm Stand CSA share, please be aware of the dates and dollar amounts remaining on your punch cards.

Farmer Rich says his sweet corn is ready and tasting great! Remember, he doesn’t use any GMO seeds and doesn’t spray his corn- so there may be a bug. But if he isn’t poisoning the bugs, he isn’t sharing poison with you.
Forest Run is hoping for warm nites to help the tomatoes ripen, they should have more varieties coming from the field, along with more peppers and other surprises.

Bauman’s Natural Meats is again making their products available this week; chicken, brats and burgers go great on the grill with sweet corn!!

And, Rusty Dog Coffee only roasts coffee to order. As a small batch local roaster in Madison, they are roasting once per week to fulfill orders guaranteeing you receive the freshest coffee possible.

For those of you with a Forest Run Farm, Farmstand CSA, remember the punch cards are only good on FRF fresh fruits and veggies.
