And then there are culturalexperiences that take place up and down main streets andaround city squares of towns across Wisconsin. We’re speakingof farmers’ markets, an enduring concept in Wisconsin thatbrings together farmers, artisans, families and communities in theage-old tradition of supporting neighbors who grow and raise thefood we consume.Farmers’ markets spring up in May with early offerings ofasparagus, rhubarb, maple syrup and morel mushrooms. That’s followedby a veritable summer bloom when berries and cherries,leafy greens, sweet corn, melons and tomatoes overflow basketsand bins in tentedbooths. In the fall, it’sa bounty of squashand beets piled nextto brussels sprouts,crisp apples andorganic honey, to saynothing of autumnhuedfloweringmums.If you’ve neverbeen, you mustmake a point toexperience theDane CountyFarmers Market at least once. It happensevery Saturday and Wednesday from early spring into Novemberaround the Capitol Square in Madison. It is the largest produceronlyfarmers’ market in the U.S., which means all items are producedlocally by the vendors behind the table. You will not, and westress “not,” be able to leave without a full bag or partial bushel ofsomething.Everything you’d ever want to know about farmers’ markets inWisconsin is conveniently categorized on the web siteSavorWisconsin.com. And if you’re in the market for a certainmade-in-Wisconsin food product, you can search for that too.So, in conclusion, when in Wisconsin, do get caught up in ourfarming heritage by buying local, and there is nothing more local orlovely than a farmers’ market.15.
