Howdy, Market Pals!
Can you believe how time is flying? It really feels like we’re heading into summer, what with Mount Horeb's annual village festival, the Mount Horeb Summer Frolic, kicking off this Thursday the 9th!
We hope you’ll make the Mount Horeb Farmers Market part of your Frolic plans – or the other way around! As always the Market will be held on Main Street from 3-6:30 PM. The Frolic kicks off around 5 PM with carnival rides, beer tent, and a little later comes bingo and the Thursday Night Slow-Pitch League at Grundhal Park. Check out the full Frolic schedule here.

Market Day Sneak Peak
As always, this is not an exhaustive list of everything and everyone you'll see at the market this week, but just a glimpse to whet your appetite for all things local...
Dorothy's Range (Heritage hogs, farrow to finish, raised on pasture and supplemental organic grains) is fully stocked with pork chops, bacon, bratwurst, ready to eat ham slices, roasts, sausage, ribs and MORE.

Campo di Bella returns with their famous Artisan Vinegar!
Blue Valley Gardens will be back with asparagus, turkey chorizo, and honey. (And don't wait to get your asparagus fix, the season is winding down!)
A note from Double Dutch Sourdough: "I'll have the usual variety, plus a new honey spelt sandwich loaf, and I'm trying to make more! In an effort to make inventory last a bit longer, I am going to put a 2 loaf max per person." Anna has been consistently selling out of product within the first couple hours of the market, so this should be good news for those of you who can't always shop early and have missed out!
Whoopies Cookies and Sweets will be in attendance once again with cookies, scones, and of course whoopie pies!

Market Totes are Here!
Pick one up at the information table (cash or checks accepted) and rep your Mount Horeb Farmers Market with pride! These canvas totes are sturdy enough for market day and grocery store runs and stylish enough for everyday – plus, and we think you’ll agree, the elegant color scheme will go with everything in your wardrobe!
Besides being the spot where you can pick up your Market bag and sign up for the Market newsletter, the Information Table is where the Market board members hang out every week, so it’s your one-stop spot for Market information – they’re there for all your questions, comments, or just to get a drink of water and shoot the breeze. And if you’ve been wondering about applying for the Community Table, well then they’d really love to talk to you!
From the Board: “As stated in our mission, our market is motivated to provide a chance for the people of our town and its environs to come together as a community. As a way of facilitating this goal, we offer up a Community Table. Each week the market provides an opportunity for a local organization to be present to explain its mission and attract new members, volunteers, or participants.
If you are a member of a community group from within or around the Mount Horeb area and would like an opportunity to join us at market, please read over our Community Table policies and submit your application to the Board.”

In other community news, Telsaan Tea is moving! Luckily, only right down the street, into a lovely retail space (the former location of Moonhill Mercantile) that will serve them very well. If dropping by Telsaan Tea in person is a part of your Thursday Market routine, be sure to stock up this week! Here’s the timeline from Telsaan’s website:

If dropping by Telsaan Tea in person is a part of your Thursday Market routine, be sure to stock up this week! Here’s the timeline from Telsaan’s website:
- Jun 7-12 - Our store at 209 E Main Street is still open, but... um... it's a lot less tidy than usual.
- Jun 12 - LAST DAY to shop at our old location at 209 E Main St. This is also the LAST DAY to order any "Bulk Tea" until we have our new space ready. We're overstocking pre-packaged sizes of our best-selling tea in advance of the move.
- Jun 13 - Probably an awkward, semi-open transition day.
- Jun 14-21 - Our brick-and-mortar store is CLOSED while we're moving. Our ONLINE STORE IS OPEN. Shipping orders are still be available! Pickup orders are also still available (limited hours). Pickup at 108 E Main St, and please pardon the moving process
- Jun 22 - Tentative opening at 108 E Main St.
