Rain Has ArrivedNow that we had a much needed rain, things at the farm are looking better. 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.

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 farm is at its height of summer production right now and the variety is amazing. The market tables are full of fresh goodness and every color of the rainbow. Eating healthy has never been easier and we hope to see you at one of our many locations! Stay healthy, brave and strong.

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.
