I absolutely love the market. Make the trip from Chicago to come out here. A lot of great vendor is a lot of great fruits and vegetables right from peoples private farms. Tasters and entertainment and just an all-around great day. There’s a Natural Juice truck that’s there that a lady Kim runs and she was amazing and her smoothies are out of this world!!!
A must see in Madison. Incredible vendors. So much to sample and delight in! Great energy and kind people.
Madison highlight for sure, make sure to check it out if you’re around on Saturdays. My first time it was quite the experience because everyone was walking around so slowly, but now it’s endearing and part of the experience. I’ve been in May and June several times and the rhubarb is abundant with all the pastries and pies. Lots of fresh rebar too and asparagus.
The Dane County Farmers Market is one of the markets that are so amazing in all the states. The beautiful location on the Capitol and the amazing amount of vendors and music and events going on is awesome. I love going there and even though I don't live in Wisconsin anymore I try to go back at least two or three times just to get a chance to go to the market. Don't forget to stop at Stella's and get your hot and spicy cheese bread!!
The best farmers’ market in America! I have been to a lot of markets, but this is a true farmers’ market. Everything is handmade, local farmers or Wisconsin made. Everything I buy from here is the BEST…tomato plants, honey and of course, the hot, spicy cheesy bread. This bread will make you close your eyes and reflect on what foods you hope are available in the afterlife. If it ain’t Wisconsin made or grown, it is just secondary.

Wisconsin's premier local market, bringing farm-fresh goodness to Madison every week!
