Wares: Pure maple syrup and bison in assorted meaty cuts, including steak, brisket, brats, bologna, burgers, ribeye, kabob cubes, and summer sausage.
Best deal: Bison jerky and snack sticks. Package size varies, but many are about $5.
Weirdest item: Bison heart, tongue, and liver. If you're willing to take the plunge, they're a steal at $2.50/lb.
Serving suggestion: Owner Cindy Fricke recommends that bison newbies convert a beef cut to bison, so if you love a beef roast, try a boneless bison roast. Still not sure? Try some ground bison meat in chili or, this being the Midwest, hotdish.
Find it at: Dane County Winter Farmers' Market, Saturdays at the Madison Senior Center, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., through Apr. 11.
