Farmer's Markets

Why go to the grocery store when you can buy fresh from the farm without ever leaving the city? Milwaukee has a crop of Farmer's Markets every summer, and all of them are full of fresh produce, local art, free entertainment, tasty bakery and even fresh buffalo meat.

The area's finest fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices, flowers, baked goods and more are ripe for the pickin' all summer long and well into fall, too.

Markets are all around Milwaukee, so grab a friend and get to one today. Here's the entire list.
