This Week
Value Added Spotlight Continues
Last week we featured "Value Added" products in many of our photos, primarily highlighting fruit and vegetable producers. This week we continue the theme from last week, adding some selections from meat producers.
Jordandal Farms offers numerous frozen items, including pizza, meatballs, chili, and chicken liver paté. Those are their popular snack sticks on the left.
Most value added products found at the DCFM are required to have over 51 percent content raised or produced by the seller. --Photo by Bill Lubing

Vendor Notes
 | Soap from Brantmeier Family Farm |
Don't Let This Slip AwayTom Brantmeier from Brantmeier Family Farm gave us a call today. He wanted to let us know that, counting this Saturday, he will be at only 2 more indoor markets. If you've been enjoying his farmstead goat milk soap, now is the time to stock up. So, now is a good time to visit Tom to stock up on soap until the market moves back in doors at the end of next summer. He has many, many varieties of soap to choose from, all made on the farm using milk from his (friendly) goats. Easter Rings from Cabibbo's BakeryIt was a little touch and go but as it turns out Ruby and Joe Cabibbo of Cabibbo's Bakery will have their popular semolina Easter rings with ceramic eggs and little egg baskets at market this Saturday.
Easter rings and baskets from Cabibbo's Bakery. Bunnies not included!

Cucumber, Kohlrabi) Salad ROCK Salad --Photo by Montana Heart Song Note that the vegetables in this recipe can be found at the market this Saturday. by Montana Heart Song Ingredients - 3 to 6 cucumbers (depending upon size), ends cut
- 10-12 radishes, thinly sliced (If using beauty hearts from the market, use 5 or 6)
- 1 medium sweet onion, peeled, thinly sliced
- 1-2 kohlrabi, peeled, sliced and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Dressing (Or use your own) - 1/2 to 1 cup mayonnaise* (or to taste)
- 1/2 to 1 cup sour cream (or to taste)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
-
1 teaspoon celery seed
-
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Directions - Take a fork and tine the cucumber peel of each cucumber down lengthways on all sides of the cucumber. This will create a design of thin ridges down the peel. Slice in thin rounds.
- Put all of the cut and sliced vegetables in a large serving bowl.
- Sprinkle with salt. Let set.
- Pour out any water that has accumulated in the bottom of the vegetables. Drain well.
- Dressing: In a mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, celery seed and lemon juice. Stir until mixed.
- Add your dressing or any dressing of your choice. Toss and serve.
- Wonderful to eat with mashed potatoes.
- Fix the potatoes the way you like them and this salad for a wonderful meatless meal or serve with the ham shown above.
*[NOTE: If you are making your own mayonnaise, please read. Because you are using raw egg yolk, care should be taken to avoid food poisoning from salmonella. Don't alter the proportions of ingredients unless they are listed as optional, because the acidity is there for a reason--food safety. The recipe mayonnaise recipe presented at the link above is based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines (see External Links). Pregnant women are advised not to eat 'real' mayonnaise due to the aforementioned salmonella risk from the raw eggs.] Adapted from www.food.com

This Saturday's Entertainment
| Water Street Bridge played last week's market. --Photo by Bill Lubing |
The Briarpickers are a mandolin/violin duet, featuring Brian Ray and Paul Kienitz. They meld traditional Appalachian style folk melodies with a classical string ensemble approach.
This music--dubbed "rustic chamber music"--has a very accessible and welcoming sound, and is the perfect complement for a relaxed pub or dining atmosphere, as well as shopping, enjoying breakfast, and snacking at the Dane County Farmer's Market
.
Eat well by eating local!
