Local farmers markets provide a vital alternative to mainstream food systems. Unlike supermarkets, which rely on long supply chains and strict cosmetic standards, farmers markets make the food system more transparent.

It’s possible to choose just-picked seasonal produce, ask questions directly and learn how to store and use ingredients more efficiently.

By reconnecting with our food, our farmers and our community, farmers markets help reduce waste from the ground up—starting at the farm and continuing all the way to our kitchens.

When we buy directly from the people who grow our food, we invest in a more sustainable, resilient and delicious food system for Northeast Wisconsin.
