I caught wind of the market a few weeks ago; but, at that point the listing of vendors had not yet been released. This morning, I was excited to find an announcement in my inbox indicating that the market will feature locally grown produce, meats, and other food products from a whole host of vendors that we absolutely LOVE.
Some of the familiar favorites include:
More information available at MCWFM.org.Some of the familiar favorites include:
- Bolzano Artisan Meats Wisconsin’s first (and only) purveyor of dry-cured meats (located right here in Milwaukee)
- JenEhr Family Farm Our favorite organic farm, located in Sun Prairie, WI.
- Jeff-Leen Farm Awesome fresh eggs and pastured beef from Random Lake, WI.
- Oly’s Oats Wisconsin-milled oats and grains.
- Pinehold Gardens Another lovely organic farm, located in Oak Creek, WI. These guys not only grow great veg, but they sponsor the annual pig roast we attend every year.
- Golden Bear Monarchs Elk Farm How great will it be to be able to get locally raised elk... and pheasants??!! (Beloit, WI)
- Rolling Meadows Sorghum Mill Local producers of sorghum, maple syrup and honey (Elkhart Lake, WI)

Oooh, jealous of the winter market...possibly because of the elk as much as anything! I love wild game meats despite the fact that I'd be a rubbish hunter.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I love having access to year round farmers markets. YAY for you all in WI!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I'm thrilled to see farmer's markets succeed and continue to expand. I'm sure the local cheeses and cured meats will be amazing!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! This year was the first year that our local CSAs are able to go year-round. I'd love to have a winter market here, but snow that reaches head-high and no indoor venue, it'll be a long time coming.
ReplyDeleteVery nice...I'm pretty certain you'd kick my butt if you could for not taking advantage of living in FL and all the farmer's markets in the area. In my defense my three children just have me crazy busy!

AHH! YAY!! And I am so thrilled that it is at State Fair Park, so people like me who live in New Berlin don't have to go far.
ReplyDeleteWe've been thinking a lot about where we are going to be getting our stuff in the winter here in Mpls
ReplyDeleteThis sounds sooo awesome! I wish I could get local elk. That would just totally make my life! :) Have a great time shopping, Lo! Can't wait to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think this market has the potential to be really great. I'm looking forward to going the inaugural day.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big honey fan. I would love to learn about this vendor. I'm heading to check them out.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to have a winter market! I'm hoping maybe I'll recognize you, and say hello!
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you have a winter market.
ReplyDeleteO lovely....I think farmer's markets are just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your winter farmers market - and the wonderful choices you have there. My local market has decided to stay open until Thanksgiving for the first time, but it's pretty slender pickings because of all the rules.
ReplyDeleteThey can't sell meat (except for the doctor who is also an organic farmer and sells it all secretive like a drug dealer the second the market officially closes).
We've got a winter market going here in Mineral Point, WI (at least through December). It's so great to have it. I wish we lived closer to Milwaukke so we could check this one out, it sounds great!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Thanks for posting this :)
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you got my email about the Pioneer Woman book signing in Old Orchard/Skokie Thursday evening? If you didn't get it, email me amanda @ amandascookin.com
