I finally got the tomato plant variety list for 2003 up. These plants are available at the Madison Farmer's Market on Saturdays and at our farm any time. You will notice there are more than 40 heirloom varieties this year.  

For a virtual visit of the Farmer's market check out  the Dane Co Farmer's market  . This is our stand in the fall of 01. It was a cold windy day near the end of the market season. We have our stand on the north corner, across from the YWCA. If you would like a nice printable version of the list, here is the excel file.

I am working on totally redesigning the web site.

I'm trying to put many of the graphics on their own pages, so the main pages will load faster. As this takes quite a bit of time for someone that isn't a professional at web sites, I am putting up the pages as they get done. For a while that will also mean some links may not work because all of the pages are not there yet. Please just keep checking back.

If you need something quick, please email me for more info.
