The days are getting longer, the temps warmer which can mean only one thing… it’s almost time for the farmers markets to begin. Can’t you just taste those juicy, red tomatoes & hear the snap of the fresh, green asparagus? Just the thought of those delicious pastries, cheeses and jellies makes my mouth water. And can’t you just smell the sweet fragrance of the lovely spring flowers for sale too?
Madison’s farmers markets are one of the many reasons that we love this city. Beginning April 21, the Madison Farmers Market on the Square will be delighting Madisonians every Saturday from 6 am until 2 pm. If you’ve never been, it is an absolute must! The Capitol Square comes alive with the crowds of people anxious to fill their wicker baskets with the freshest, most delicious items.
The Capitol View Farmers Market is also back again starting June 6th, right here in our neighborhood and we can’t wait! Be sure to get out and support the market and the local vendors every Wednesday from 3 – 7 pm. Located on the south side of Sharpsburg Drive starting at the corner of North Star Drive on the east side of Madison across from the new Great Dane Pub within the Grandview Commons Neighborhood and visible from Cottage Grove Road lies a hidden little gem worth exploring.
