Closing out 2023With the conclusion of the sweet corn and tomato season, the transition from summer vegetables to fall is in full swing. We wanted to inform you about our remaining offerings and our intention to continue attending the Madison market through the end of October, weather permitting.
Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, fall squash, and red peppers grace our market tables with a beautiful bounty of colors. Additionally, we're excited to announce the return of spinach, lettuce mix, and arugula. Most importantly, our freezers are brimming with high-quality, affordable Black Angus beef. Don't miss the opportunity to stock up your freezers for the upcoming winter months. Next May might seem like a long way off! We also wish to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support! Your support makes all the hard work and long hours worth the effort. We look forward to seeing you at our remaining markets, where we can personally express our thanks. Until next May, take good care of yourselves, and may you remain healthy and happy!

TomatoesThe one word that captures the end of August's produce. We have a surplus of tomatoes this year. If you are a canning enthusiast, this update is for you. We have an abundance of varieties including Roma, Round (red and yellow), and even Heirloom tomatoes such as Brandywine, Purple Cherokee, and Striped German. They are available in 25-pound and 40-pound increments.
You can place your order by emailing us at greenbarnfarmmarket@gmail.com or by visiting our farmer's market locations in Madison, Green Bay, and Fond du Lac. Additionally, you'll find an order notebook at our Ripon corn stand location. Secure your supply now before the season comes to a close! The range of produce available now is incredible. We continue to offer excellent sweet corn, cantaloupe, green beans, cucumbers, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. This time of year is perfect for creating wholesome and vibrant meals. Make sure to stock up on all your favorites for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. Our supply of high-quality black angus ground beef for your grilling needs is still abundant.

The Height of Summer VeggiesThe long, hot days and barely-in-time rains have led to an abundance of vegetables on the farm! The long-awaited sweet corn season has finally arrived, and it looks and tastes great. Make sure to get some at one of our many locations. We have seen the first vine-ripened tomatoes and onions. Green and jalapeno peppers have also arrived - salsa season is upon us!
Although we needed to say goodbye to the lettuce, spinach, and arugula season, we are excited for all the summertime favorites. Currently, we have broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumbers, zucchini, onions, tomatoes, sweet corn, and the cantaloupe is not far behind. Our corn stand in Ripon, on the corner of Stanton and Oshkosh Street, is open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM, where you can find all of these treasures. We will be stocking our meat products at the Ripon stand daily, beginning in a few days. Although we will be out of steaks until mid-September, we will still have burgers, roasts, stew meat, and soup bones. Thank you for your continued support!

Asparagus season is rapidly coming to a close but the greens (spinach, spring mix and arugula) are really beautiful and will be available for at least a couple more weeks. Next up: sugar snap peas and broccoli.
We are done selling asparagus at the farm location and will return to our location in the city of Ripon (corner of Oshkosh and Stanton Street) near the end of July. There we will have sweet corn and all the other farm fresh vegetables that you love. Another exciting update is that we are planting strawberries this month with high hopes that we will be able to offer them for sale next June. It takes a bit of luck and a bunch of skill to get them to market so we will keep our fingers crossed and work hard! We sell black angus beef at our Ripon location and the farm markets in Madison and Green Bay. Don’t worry farmer Tom will be back in Green Bay before the end of this month! Keep hoping for regular rains. It is so difficult on all of the farmers when it doesn’t rain consistently, or at all. Knowing where your food comes from is such a wonderful thing. Thank you for your continued support! GREEN BARN FARM MARKET Feel free to leave a comment below, or contact us with any questions! GBFM Has Started AgainWhen the asparagus is here you know that Wisconsin has finally allowed the season to change!

The season may change but the farming remains the same. We have already planted 4 crops of broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage and all of our onions. The sweet corn and green beans are up and all of the tomatoes and bell peppers are planted. We hope for regular rains and benevolent weather.

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support. It is our pleasure to help feed you and you are the reason we continue with our calling. The season was not without challenges and it always seems to revolve around the weather. The farmer's mantra: “there is always next year.” Thank you for your patience and understanding when things didn’t grow right and the mood of the farmer was not the best:) Without a doubt, the best part of this season was seeing you in person and for the most part without a mask on. A smile goes a long way and it was nice to see yours. We have every intention of continuing our production next season and God willing we will see you in the beautiful green spring when the asparagus makes its appearance. Until then have a blessed holiday season and stay brave, healthy and strong. GREEN BARN FARM MARKET Feel free to leave a comment below, or contact us with any questions! TomatoesNow is the time to do your canning and preserving of tomatoes! The extreme weather has made all the tomatoes ripen at the same time so the season will be short but very sweet! We will have tomatoes available at all of the farmers markets we attend and we have an order book every day at our daily corn stand in Ripon. All of your salsa, sauce and juice will taste sensational in winter! It was hard to decide whether to label this update tomatoes or cantaloupe. The cantaloupe are ready, ripe and delicious and like the tomatoes, they will not be around for long. Make sure to pick yours up today!

The end of this seasons asparagusDespite the crazy weather, things on the farm are looking good. We have started the beloved shelled sweet pea season as the asparagus winds down. Don’t wait too long for asparagus as we are only expecting it for about another week. We saw the first broccoli of the season; spinach, spring mix lettuce and arugula continue to be fresh and delicious. We tied the first cauliflower and the sweet corn is starting to tassel. The field grown tomatoes are staked and little green tomatoes are abundant. Mother Nature keeps marching along and we just try to keep up with her! Our freezer will be full of Black Angus meat this weekend. Super great quality meat at reasonable prices - be sure to check it out. We raise our cattle from birth and also raise all the feed that they eat - taste the difference! The most exciting information in this post is the fact that the Dane County Farmers is once again back on the state capital square on Saturday and at the 200 block of MLK Jr. Blvd on Wednesday. It is so wonderful to see all of your faces and feel your excitement of having in person markets once again! From the bottom of our heart THANK YOU for supporting us through the online ordering season last year. Survival was paramount and you not only helped us achieve that, you helped us flourish.
