Visiting the Dane County Farmers Market is something I have done ever since I was a little girl and it is a must if you have never experienced it! Seeing all the different vendors and everything is such an awesome time! Getting to know and having conversations about what vendors bring to the table is a beautiful experience to have and connection to the community is priceless! Warning, it does get crowded so if crowds are not your thing, maybe it's not such a good idea for you. If you are willing to be patient and kind to others it can be a really good time for all! You may hear "Ope, Sorry" a bunch, it's the Midwestern kindness of apologizing if you may bump into one another!

Write oneWould be nice to see food trucks vs just same things everyone selling. Flowers, carrots, lettuce, cheese, snap peas etc. where’s the food trucks? This place was suppose to be the biggest and best, but Cedar Rapids downtown in Iowa has you beat. If you want just your normal veggies restocked for home, Dane County farmers market is fine, but don’t come hungry for food to eat there. Only breads available mainly of donuts.
Was a wonderful farmers market but not located in the capital building it's 2 blocks on MLK blvd
Very fun! A must-do of Madison. You can go to the State Capitol it is open and people like to view it when visiting the farmers market. Still Bakery is a town favorite! Get excited for many produce and snack/condiments, my favorite has been the pesto stand with many different flavors.
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.
