We were visiting family in the area and they insisted we do the farmers market. I had no idea it was so large and diverse. It was a pleasure to stroll around the beautiful capital building in downtown Madison and buy cups of coffee and eat cheese bread, pecan rolls, chocolate, cheese curds and meats. We bought fresh asparagus, tomatoes,... More

We moved to Wisconsin about 5 years ago and were told sometime we had to go to the farmers market, it was a must! We had no idea how amazing this outing would be!! Simply seeing the whole block around the capital blocked off and crowds of people walking gingerly around the square is wonderful in itself, but the plethora... More

Having lived in the Madison Wisconsin area for the last 13 years, it is always a great pleasure to go to the Farmer's Market at the capital on Saturday mornings. Today the fresh asparagus was incredible and picked up some morel mushrooms. It is wise to shop as the morels were from 30 to 40 dollars a pound and the... More

You HAVE to go to the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. The earlier you go, the easier it is to maneuver. But even when it's shoulder to shoulder crowds, the selection of goods makes it worth your time and effort. Cheese curds, fresh eggs, all sorts of sweet goods,honeys, jellies, syrups, veggies, mushrooms, fresh cut flowers ... great deals, great... More

I love it. This is a must! It is the largest farmers market I have ever been too! The cheesy bread is amazing from any of them, but you wont be disappointed with the tents, who have the longest lines. The veggies are all fresh! Down state street you can buy jewelry, clothing, ect. Pangea jewelry is great, I bought... More

Capitol Square was rally buzzing with people and we met people from all over the area. There were many foods on offer - it was good that some gave little samples (cheese for example) to try before purchase . We bought a number of items that lasted us a few days, and enjoyed the freshness of the best of "The... More

Madison Farmer's Market surrounds the entire State Capital square every Saturday during the growing season. Market opens at 7 am and is very crowded between 9am and noon, so plan accordingly. Veggies, fruits, cheeses, bakery, farm fresh meats and homemade canned items are bountiful. Prices are higher than the grocery stores for many items but you can' t deny the... More

I'd always heard that Madison had a great farmers market. Endless booths selling local produce, meats, cheeses, and breads. It's enormous. Much larger than I'd anticipated. The only issue is that it's really narrow, and the pedestrian flow is one way (which makes sense since it's so narrow). But that makes it difficult to browse the stalls and go back... More
