About the Dane County Farmers’ Market
A Madison Tradition: The Season’s Best
The Dane County Farmers’ Market on the Square is a Saturday
and Wednesday tradition in Madison, Wisconsin. You’ll
find the season’s best bounty of vegetables, flowers,
and specialty products from approximately 300 vendors throughout
the year. About 150 vendors attend every Saturday. All
of the agriculturally-related items are produced in Wisconsin.
The Largest Producers’ Market in the Country
The DCFM is reported to be the largest producer-only farmers’s
market in the country—right here in Madison. All
items are produced by the vendors behind the tables. No
re-sale allowed!
Leave Your Dog at Home
Dogs, except service dogs, are not allowed on the Square during the Saturday Market. It is a safety issue.
Four Events in One
The Saturday scene on the Square is really four different events going on at once:
- Dane County Farmers’ Market. The Dane
County Farmers’ Market is the heart of the activities
on the Square. Our vendors line the outside edge of the
state capitol grounds. They sell agriculturally-related
producer-only products from Wisconsin. The DCFM has strict
rules for the market and has a waiting list of about three
years for new vendors.
- Non-profit, Political, and Public Information.
The interior of the state capitol grounds is used for
non-profit, political, and public information booths and
for various entertainment activities. All permits are
handled through the Capitol Police.
