There are every type of vegetables you would want for your home cooking. There are also many specialty products you can browse. Many of the speciality vendors will offer you samples of their products before you buy. I particularly like Cesars Cheese. They are a great local cheesemaker and have the best string cheese I have ever had. And please support the local businesses on main Street while you are there. Get a coffee or a sandwich and keep browsing. If you like locally produced products, then you will be happy that you came to the West Bend farmers market.

For the reviewer that said much of the produce is just resellers, that's totally not true. There is…read morea home grown rule at this market and if someone complains you are inspected and can be kicked out. I'm a vendor there so know. And yes some people HAVE been kicked out. Personally we buy used boxes we put our zucchini in and often even use them on the display. The boxes fit in our cooler better than the black crates. As far as the fruit, that is 1 exception. There is 1 or 2 vendors that have permission to get fruit from the Michigan produce markets while that fruit is not in season in Wisconsin.

Wow. I have been to many farmers markets across the country. This one was by far one of the largest…read moreone I've been to. The market is on the outskirts of the Capital building which is such a nice setting. Tons of fresh produce which all looked amazing. Several bakeries with cookies, breads, danish and scones. On another street they were many booths selling jewelry and crafts. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning.

The whole…read moremarket rolls in one direction, and was crowded with people, which made it hard at times to keep up, but you can hop out of line and stop to shop, then hop back into the flow of things. Bring tote bags for all the treasures you will buy, cash/card, and good walking shoes as this is a big market that covers a wide space. The flowers were other-worldly and got me started on a dahlia quest that I have not yet recovered from. Now I want to grow gardens and gardens of just dahlias! Loved the cheese stands, too. And all the beautiful fruits and vegetables. I visited in late August/early September, so I am not sure what it is like in the spring, but definitely by late summer it is HOPPING! Loved it.

As I left breakfast I took a walk through the farmers market and noticed some fresh Asian food being cooked on a grill. A band was setting up but I would be gone before it started. It went on for blocks with lots of veggies and something I don't see in the Milwaukee area farmers market, fresh strawberry's so I got a container. I saw a little girl dressed in Amish clothes at a fresh baked goods stand so I stopped because I have never had Amish baked goods. Everything looked amazing and I took a mini rhubarb pie with me. As far as farmers markets go it's not the big Maddison kind but it's not the worst that I have been to.

They were Mac Daddy Sandwich and Soo-Eee! We 5 friends shared and tried them along with the tomato soup that comes with it. I am ready to try the other flavors at the next event. La Duc's offered the Ice Cream Sandwich which is two large chocolate chip cookies with a delicious custard center. It was solidly frozen and we let it sit for a few minutes to soften up a bit. We then broke it up with spoons and ate it in yummy chunks which is just how it should be eaten, IMHO. The evening was packed with families with infants, children, parents, friends, and all ages. This is what a summer evening should be. Kids have a large sand play area and lots of grassy areas to run wild. And the fresh products for sale inside the store are always top quality and worth purchasing. My only glitch is how loud the music is, which negates the ease of conversations. We bring a table and card games and yelling to each other is needed to converse. We sit away from the band but it is still a bit loud. Last night the music was varied in genre and fun.

They let you sample different apples. All of the vendors are so kind, friendly, and helpful. I love supporting these local farmers. I always end up with something I wasn't planning on getting. This time I got some delicious pumpkin honey and I came home with a few white and pastel pumpkins, they were too pretty to pass up. I typically try to arrive just before 8am. I like to make sure I can get some bread from Madison Sourdough before they sell out. The parking is really easy and nice that you can park so close so you can make trips to your car if needed. I really enjoy this farmers market because they have many vendors but it's never too crowded and has a nice neighborhood farmers market vibe. There aren't tons of tourists like the downtown market, it's all locals. Highly recommend!

I need to start this off by saying what gets me to the farmers market is breakfast. I am absolutely…read moreobsessed with the breakfast pizza from Cedar Teeth pizza. I get there right at 8am and beeline to that stand. They give you a pager while you wait which gives me time to do a lap or two around the market. I have purchased beets, potatoes, zucchini and cherries this season but it's not something I get every market like the pizza. There are other great food vendors there too like the National Cafe and Press Waffles. Only a few more markets left for the season!

Good food, options abound for those who want breakfast, brunch, or lunch. My weekly purchases are driven by the season, the hard-working vendors, and my fellow shoppers. From berries and lettuce in the spring to squash and kale in the fall, this market never fails me. I do notice that some days I come with the solid shopping list in mind, only to be inspired by the fresh produce to change my weekly menus. Yesterday I got fresh eggs, aged cheese, radishes, green beans, mushrooms, cauliflower, a brisket sandwich, Flowers, and other odds and ends. I'd also make a specific shout out to the Door County fruit vendor that never fails to bring a smile to my face.

The farmers market is in downtown next to the library that has a free parking lot that was full. This is your typical farmers market with lots of fresh vegetables and next to no fruits but I did find a peach stand. The peaches were $10 a bag so I hope that they are really good because it's about $3.77 a pound. The market had a bbq stand and a cafe to snack on while you're there which I didn't have because I just left my breakfast spot. Nothing really grabbed me except the peaches so I didn't leave empty handed. I saw meat stands, dairy stands, fresh eggs, popcorn, jewelry, chiropractics, honey, root veggies, baked goods, cheese, flowers, soaps etc etc. This was a nice find and a well rounded farmers market but my standard complaint, very little fresh fruit because I always have fresh fruit at home more than veggies.

This traditional European-style Christmas market features over 60 vendors, including artisan crafts, handmade gifts, and Wisconsin specialty foods. There were so many unique items to browse, from ornaments and décor to homemade treats. The food and drink options were fantastic -- local food trucks like EZ Tiki, Flip's Mini Donuts, Tots on the Street, and Milwaukee Pretzel Company, plus local beer, made it easy to snack while walking. The weather was decent, which made strolling through the market enjoyable, though it was definitely busy with lots of holiday shoppers. Live music and festive decorations added to the cheerful atmosphere. Parking was convenient with several nearby lots, and the layout made it easy to explore despite the crowds.

Its heavy attended volume is well deserved; lots of interesting stalls line the ground floor, from coffee and candy to bbq and Thai. I wouldn't say it could replace regular grocery shopping; it's more like a fancy spot to shop for artisan goods like cured meats, sweet treats, baked goods, and other accoutrement. Plenty of seating on the open second floor (also a good spot to take photos of the market) if you want to eat there; otherwise grab some delicious food to go and enjoy the surrounding neighborhood!

That was perfect since we were only going to be there for a few minutes while we had some shaved ice. The market offers everything from cheese, seafood, pasta etc. as well as many restaurants to choose from. We were in the mood for something cold on a hot summer day and Chillwaukee hit the spot. We finished our shaved ice and headed back to our car. We thought we had plenty of time to make it out of the parking lot in less than 30 minutes. When we got in the line to exit there were only 4 cars ahead of us with 5 minutes left of time. No problem, I thought. I was wrong. When it was my turn to exit I was told I had to pay for an hour of parking even though we were only over by a few seconds!! When I explained that I had been in line for 5 minutes, the attendant said that the same thing had happened to other customers before me and that there was nothing he could do about it. I would agree if I had shown up one minute late and there was no line to leave. Other than the parking situation, I enjoyed my short visit to the market.
