Special Events this Sunday, Dec 6th

Lots of special happenings are planned for the market this Sunday (10-1).

Guest Chef Joe Pipitone from Café La Bellitalia (link) will be cooking up bruschetta and lasagna. Kazuag Vang will be doing a glass demo using a flame torch.

We will also have a visit from local author Catherine Murray, long time resident of the Northside, who has a bi-monthly column in the Madison newspapers. She will be at the market selling and autographing her cookbooks.

As always, Brady's Market Café will be there... and this Sunday we have the Lindbergh PTA selling frozen egg rolls, hot tamales, and cinnamon rolls. You will also have a chance to interact with the Ice Muskies mascot plus hear sounds of the season from harpist Cora Wiese Moore.

We're at Max Vendor Capacity!

Our vendor stalls are full for the upcoming market!

Vendors Share Hidden Talents

Turns out that some of our favorite produce vendors have hidden talents that you can see for yourself at the next market! Youa Lor not only sells veggies but also has Hmong embroidery items; Myrtle Wilhite from Higher Ground Urban Farm not only has honey, cilantro, parsley, basil, and greens (in a pot) but also makes and sells pottery (below). Kazuag Vang sells Bok-choy, collards, kale, leeks, and carrots and also knows how to create glass ornaments (demo next market!) and Herb 'n' Oyster makes and sells soap.

New Northside Banners

Come to the next Northside Farmers Market market to see the new pole banners that will be hung throughout the Northside!

The pole banners were made possible through a combination of private donations and a matching grant from the City of Madison. The Pole Banner Committee of the Northside Business Association (whose members include a representative from the Northside Farmers Market) was instrumental in purchasing the banners.

New Artists at this Market...

A new vendor, Earthcare Suri Alpacas (link), will be at our next market. They have pasture raised Alpacas for fiber and breeding from the Village of Rochester. They will have sweaters and other hand-crocheted items made from Suri fiber, and cooperatively made alpaca socks.

We will also have Eleanor Gbedey (soy candles), who will be doing a candle making demonstration, Sharon Dawley-Carr (fleece), Brian (ornaments), Lynette Jandl (hats), and Jean Mani (soap/candles).
