2024 Eastside Farmers’ Market Vendors
Bauman’s Natural Meats
The Baumans enjoy eating simple foods without a lot of strange unpronounceable chemicals in them. That is the way the meats are brought to you.
The crops are homegrown and fed to the animals. No genetically modified grains are used nor are insecticides. Natural “fertilizer” from the animals is preferred over using harsh commercial chemical fertilizers, as well as crop rotation to keep the fields healthy and fertile. The Baumans consider their meats natural. That means no antibiotics or artificial implanted hormones are used in the production of the animals. Cows are on pasture; pigs out in the open air and sunshine, and all chickens are free range, including the egg laying hens. They are well cared for and healthy. Animals are processed in local area processing plants. You are getting just meat, no fillers or extra water. The processors are instructed to make sure the meat products are lean without being too dry.

Blue Skies Farm
Blue Skies Farm was founded in 1991 by Paul and Louise Maki, then as a means to show that small scale agriculture is viable. Now 33 years later we are very much a success! Blue Skies grows using organic and bio-dynamic methods and was Certified Organic from 1993 through 2006, until we chose to not support the current program. Our primary crops are raspberries (pre-picked and U-pick) asparagus, and concord grapes.

Lovefood LLC
We are David, Abby, and Soleia Bachhuber and we truly enjoy growing food for our community! We farm with love and devotion and with a deep sense of partnership with our customers as well as the land, plants, soil and animals big and small.
Our farm dream began with a cherry tomato plant in a five-gallon bucket on a fire escape in 1999. Since then, David has been absolutely hooked on growing food. After years of an ever-expanding home garden gobbling up every inch of lawn, the hobby began to shift to a true business endeavor. In 2014, Lovefood was founded on an acre of rented land and we were off and running.
We now grow a wide variety of certified organic veggies, herbs, and fruits in Verona, WI and sell through our CSA, at farmers markets, and wholesale to local restaurants and grocery stores.

MicroMyco
MicroMyco is an urban mushroom farm located in the heart of Madison. Specializing in gourmet mushrooms, the whole operation is more than just urban food production. By incorporating different "waste" materials into our growing operation, including local coffee grounds and local agricultural waste, we can grow mushrooms using nearly 100% renewable resources.
Many people have not tried many mushrooms beyond what is available in the grocery store. We're excited to offer many varieties that are delicious and interesting. Foraged mushrooms will also be available when in season, giving the opportunity for more people to experience some of the unique mushrooms that grow right here in Wisconsin.
Beyond being a professional cultivator, I am an amatuer mycologist as well. I am looking forward to talking to so many new people about how important mushrooms are!

ORIGIN Breads bakes small batches of naturally-leavened, long-fermented breads with Wisconsin-grown and stone-milled organic wheat and grains. We’re proud to source our organic wheat, rye, spelt, buckwheat and corn locally from Lonesome Stone Milling in Lone Rock, Wisconsin. Thanks to Lonesome Stone's small community of local farmers, we can tell you the name of the farmer who grew the wheat for every bag of flour we use. ORIGIN Breads makes a variety of loaves, but for the Eastside Farmers’ Market we’ll be featuring our focaccia and flatbreads. Our naturally-leavened round focaccia has a moist, chewy crumb filled with irregular holes and bookended by a crispy, olive-oily crust. To make our flatbreads, we use a smaller portion of our focaccia dough and flatten it out so it resembles a pizza more than a loaf of bread. Seasonal and local toppings vary throughout the market season.
