On Tuesday I went to the Badgerland Produce Auction in Montello, about 90 minutes north of Madison. Twice a week, all season long, a cooperative of Amish and 'English' farmers sell their produce at a three-hour long auction presided over by the Krueger family of auctioneers. Great prices; when I was there, one flat of 9 mums went for $1 each. Other produce were wholesale quantities of kohlrabi, grapes, basil, apples, pumpkins and more. I went because they usually have an Amish quilt auction but it was canceled this year. I'll try again next year.
