The Dane County Farmers' Market is America's largest producers-only farmers' market. It is held from April to November on Saturday mornings on the Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin[1] and on Wednesday mornings on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. From November to December, it is held indoors at the Monona Terrace, and from January to April, it is held at the Madison Senior Center. During the summer months, the market hosts approximately 300 vendors including farmers, ranchers, food trucks, artists, and more, and completely encircles the state Capitol Building.[2]
The farmers' market was founded in 1972 by Madison Mayor Bill Dyke, who sought to unite Dane County's urban and rural cultures.[3] It is currently managed by the Dane County Farmers' Market co-op.[4][5]
