Anyone who has lived in Madison knows that Saturday morning is all about the Farmer's Market. Naturally, when I moved from Madison to Milwaukee, one of the first things I researched was the local farmer's markets. While none of the Milwaukee County farmer's markets are as big as the Dane County Market around the Capital Square, they are still pretty fantastic.
Since I already was in the habit of going to the farmer's market on Saturday mornings, I was thrilled to find out that the South Shore Farmers Market is on Saturday morning. One of the things I like best about this market is the park itself. South Shore Park is nestled up by the lake, in the Bay View neighborhood. On the way to the market and back I always appreciate the stroll along the lake. The market runs every Saturday from June 19 to October 16, 2011. The market is open from 8 a.m. until 12:00 noon.
The market itself is small and hosts about 20-30 vendors. However, it has such a variety that you can get your complete list of needs at one time. There is a stand for veggies, plants, cheese, coffee, meat, eggs, baked goods, soup, and more. There is also always live music, which along with the lakefront views sets the tone for a beautiful morning.
