MADISON, Wis. — The Dane County Farmers’ Market will start the 2021 outdoor season at the Alliant Energy Center on April 10.
Market organizers made the announcement Thursday morning. The outdoor market will run like a traditional farmers’ market, meaning shoppers will be able to wander between vendors and buy products without pre-ordering.
“We will be building on the success and joy that many found in our modified operations during the 2020 outdoor season, and we are also confident that we will be allowed to return to the Capitol Square sometime during our 2021 outdoor season,” Market Manager Sarah Elliott said. “Our fundamental mission is to ensure that Wisconsin family farms and small food businesses can be economically viable and that our community has access to high-quality, fresh local foods. This mission continues whether we are permitted to be on the Square or not.”
The walk-up market will run every Saturday from 7 a.m. until noon.
Shoppers can also choose to pre-order products and pick them up on foot. Market organizers said they plan to continue the pre-order/drive-thru food pick up on Wednesdays at the Alliant Energy Center in addition to the walk-up market.
