Took a weekend trip to check out the farmer's market, which did not disappoint at all! They had so…read moremany vendors (flowers, lots of delicious bakery items, produce, etc)! One thing I really liked about the farmer's market is that it opens super early! It's also located near lots of coffee shops and breakfast places, so if you're needing a pick me up, there's lots of places to choose from! All of the vendors were super friendly and most offered different forms of payment (cash, card, venmo). There were some vendors who only accepted cash, however, there's several ATM's across the street!

Easily the best and most scenic Farmers Market I have been to! I've heard rumors that Madison held…read morequite the market on Tuesdays and Saturdays but didn't believe it till I visited. The market is fully around the four sides of the capitol building as well as another off branch down a street for artisan goods. It was nice to see so many local vendors from all throughout Wisconsin. The variety of products being sold was impressive; from baked goods, breads, flowers, produce, honey, sauces, meats, popcorn, sweet treats, and no shortage of cheeses! It took us about 75 minutes to fully walk and enjoy the market. I could not recommend this market more to anyone visiting Madison! Items Purchased: -Yummee, Chocolate Chip & S'mores Cookies -Dickson Artisan Fudge, Stumbling Cowboy Flavor -Stella's Bakery, Hot & Spicy Cheese Bread -Honey Strawberry Lemonade -Sweet Grass Bread, Parm Garlic Knots

I do have a couple vendors that I regularly visit. 1. Chippy's popcorn- the popcorn and fresh lemonade are delicious 2. K and C bakery- Ohhhhh the cookies!!!!! 3. Spark Spices- the spice blends are AMAZING 4. Natalie's Greenhouse- the fresh veggies and hanging basket flowers are top notch!

One of the smallest farmers' markets in Madison, but also one of the friendliest. They have live…read moremusic every week and picnic tables where you can snack, enjoy the music, and soak up some sun on an easy Sunday morning. Of course they have fruits, veggies, popcorn, interesting looking mushrooms, jellys and jams, salsas, and flowers, but Farmer Johns' Cheeses, Stalzy's Deli baked goods, and Stella's famous cheese bread is represented here too. You can even score some rare items like ghost and fatali peppers toward the end of the summer. They even have a Hmong family that have a stall that pumps out egg rolls, stuffed chicken wings, bubble tea, and chicken for there or to go. Feel free to hang out and make the rounds, talk to the farmers, have a bite, and listen to a few tunes. If you are pressed for time before football starts on a Sunday, simply park in Ahuska Park, grab what you need, and be out in less than 5 minutes. Enjoy and support local businesses and families.

From the Capitol to the Library mall there were booths set up along the way. Frankly I thought there would be alot more. There were a few musical acts/ buskers too. On one of the side streets they had a number of food trucks. Given all of the hype about this reoccurring event I was expecting more. It was OK - for me no need to make a special trip for this market.

I typically dislike touristy places but this Farmers market and huge outdoor play space with petting zoo was awesome!! It does cost $12 a person which is a lot, but they offer an annual pass if you live nearby. Ideal for kids ages 5-12 but we were there with a teenager and she LOVED it!! It wasn't crowded at all, super peaceful. It is also nicely accessible for my best friend who uses a rolling walker. Lots of places to sit and rest

People were dancing and singing as they were browsing the different booths. It was a lovely morning and we got to take plenty of delicious produce home with us. We will be back!
