Yes Coffee joined the Monroe Farmers Market just this summer and they bring a new, unique product to the community.  Here is a little more about them in their own words: 

Yes Coffee Roasters is a small­batch specialty coffee roaster based in Monroe, Wisconsin, Green County. Our operation is dedicated to roasting high­grade green coffee beans from the world's best growing regions. Through a selective and demanding sampling process, and a cumulative knowledge of coffee from it's origins through the roasting process, we roast our favorite green coffee beans to bring out all the unique flavors within each bean. We package and ship these coffees within two days of roast­date to home­brewers, and provide the education and support to ensure a kind of hand­shake between the grower, the bean, and your sense of taste. Simply put, we are the middle­men, and enablers, bringing you into a relationship with some of the worlds most fantastic growers of high quality coffee beans. Happy brewing!

And if you haven't yet tried any Yes Coffee, be sure to stop by their stand this Saturday and they will indeed, enable you.  Every cup is individually brewed and goes perfectly with a homemade cinnamon roll, fresh fried pie, caramel buns, or of course, savored by itself.

South Wayne, Wisconsin, is the home of Cool Cow Corner Farm where the Akins family raises Gelbiveh/Red Angus beef. Gelbiveh, one of the oldest known German cattle breeds, is widely recognized for excellence in growth, muscling and marketability, giving them a lean cut of meat. The Red Angus breed has attained a high level of popularity due to their high grade of meat.

Cool Cow Corner cattle are finished in 20 months assuring high quality, tender cuts of meat. Their cattle are born and raised on the farm allowing Nick and Tim to continually monitor their growth rates and diets. Cool Cow Corner Farm uses no drugs, hormones, or GMO feeds in their animals' diets, so you can be assured of natural, healthy, and superior tasting cuts of meat.

Cool Cow Corner offers a wide variety of meat options. One can purchase individual cuts of meat such as roasts, rib steaks, sirloin, and hamburger. They also offer sampler packets with a variety of different cuts. You can also order a side of beef (or half a side) and receive cuts of your specifications. Besides the frozen meat available at the market, Tim and Nick also grill hamburgers, steak sandwiches, and hot dogs to order at the market so you can try it out for lunch while you shop.
