Farm Fresh Experiences
Farmers’ Markets
Fill Your Totes and Treat Your Tastebuds
Stroll from stand to stand chatting with local vendors and artisan makers, sampling griddle-fried cheese, breathing in the scent of fresh bouquets and eyeing up indulgent sweets. From bundles of just-picked produce grown next door to the spicy cheese bread your crew devoured down to the last crumb, these markets are a celebration of community—one that tastes best together.
Capital Collection
Destination: Dane County
The crown jewel of Wisconsin farmers’ markets wraps around all four blocks of the State Capitol building. As you round each corner, your bags, tummies and hearts are sure to grow a little fuller. On a clear day with tulips in bloom around the Capitol, the Dane County Farmers’ Market is just about as good as it gets.
Up North
Authentic Tastes of Ashland
Wisconsin’s farmers’ market culture carries all the way up to the Northwoods. At the Ashland Area Farmers’ Market, each bite is set just steps from Lake Superior, so your Saturday stroll is accompanied by bountiful food and lake views. Stop by and see for yourself, and maybe collect some local artisan goods while you’re around!
For Families and Friends
Market Fun for All Ages
Busy crowds and long walks can leave little ones looking for some entertainment. At Skelly’s Farm Market, corn mazes, playgrounds and tractor-pulled wagon rides are just next door to all the farm-fresh goodies—think bright red strawberries, juicy sweet corn and more. Snack, play and stay awhile.
