Tisha's Delicious Bakery
Launched in January 2021, Tisha’s Delicious Bakery produces gluten and dairy free breads and other baked goods in Mount Horeb, WI.
Gluten-free, dairy-free, AND delicious? Yes, really!
It started with my own food sensitivities. Sadly, because commercially available breads just weren’t that delicious, I had mostly eliminated bread products from my diet. While these adjustments had unquestionably benefited my body, I developed a keen sense of being left out of a key ingredient for the enjoyment of life and of community – a common feeling for those with a wide range of food allergies and sensitivities.
In 2020 when I began baking bread for myself, and my successes became tastier and tastier, I was busting to share the good news of what I had found: Tisha’s Delicious Bakery was born.
Food should bring us together, not separate us from one another. But for many with food-based allergies or sensitivities, food can become a hindrance to community. I want everyone to enjoy my products, not only people who have no choice.
Thursday, June 2 will be Tisha’s first day at the Market!

Mighty Leaf Microgreens
We are Joey and Kristin, husband and wife, grower and composter, seed lady and worm guy, and we love growing, cooking and eating good food.
Why microgreens you ask? We've been searching for a way to grow greens, year-round, in Wisconsin... we don't ask for much right? Then we discovered microgreens. An efficient, sustainable, healthy way to grow and eat greens even during those never-ending Wisconsin winters.
We've tested a variety of organic seeds, organic grow mediums and grow methods leading us on this magical (and sometimes not so magical) journey to creating Mighty Leaf Microgreens. We built this urban farm as a way to get the word out about the health benefits, sustainability, and pure beauty of microgreens.
We have been living in Mount Horeb for four years and growing microgreens for 1.5 years.

Worker Bee Honey Co
Worker Bee Honey co is a new venture from Angele Mlsna, owner and operator of Snapdragon Farm and Stables in Mount Horeb.
I recently left my 21-year career in healthcare to focus full time on our farm. I am currently apprenticing with my father-in-law to learn about bees and how to care for them. This is a great opportunity for me to get out and connect with our community, and the market allows me to showcase my father-in-law's raw Driftless honey and the products I make with the beeswax, including hand-poured candles and sugar scrubs.
Being a vendor at a farmer’s market is a quiet little dream I’ve had since first moving to Wisconsin. It only took 30 years to do. Achievement accomplished!

Double Dutch Sourdough
I hope y’all caught the feature on Anna in the Mount Horeb Mail last week (and in case you missed it, here’s the post on our blog!)
I'm a Wisconsin native and a second-generation baker; my dad ran a donut shop in Oconomowoc while I was growing up and then an artisan bread business in Milwaukee during my college years. I started Double Dutch in Beverly, on the southside of Chicago in January of 2020, and now operate out of my home in Verona.
All the bread – including the enriched loaves – are leavened only with sourdough. From start to finish a loaf of my all-natural bread takes 24 to 36 hours to make.

Jumping Spider Farm
And last but not least, coming to the Market at the end of this month, here’s a sneak peek at our fifth and final newbie!
At Jumping Spider Farm, we strive to nurture community care and climate resilience by growing food for our community and inviting others to connect, grow, learn, and imagine. We grow over 40 kinds of organic vegetables (and over 100 varieties!), including some specific varieties important to Farmer Sam’s Taiwanese culinary heritage. We have been growing food since 2021 at the Farley Center in Verona, WI, on Ho-Chunk land.
