Featured Market: Monroe Street Farmers’ Market

August 30, 2024

Nestled in Madison’s near westside, the Monroe Street Farmers’ Market (MSFM) has been a community favorite since 2015. Located at Edgewood High School (2219 Monroe Street), it’s conveniently located near neighborhoods like Dudgeon-Monroe and Nakoma. With ample free parking and a friendly atmosphere, MSFM is a vibrant spot for fresh, local produce and community interaction.

The market offers a wide variety of unique and local vendors who offer products like fruits and vegetables, pastured meats, artisanal cheeses, kettle corn and handmade decor. Visitors can also find specialty items, unique gifts, and enjoy food carts. Importantly, MSFM participates in the Double Dollars program, which doubles the purchasing power for SNAP recipients, making healthy, local food more attainable.

Amber Middleton, the Market Manager since 2023, brings a passion for local food and community engagement to her role. Her background in teaching and fostering equitable food systems complements her dedication to creating a welcoming space at the market. She also volunteers with Fairshare CSA Coalition and SoL Criations Farm Sanctuary.

The Monroe Street Farmers’ Market is more than just a shopping destination; it’s a place where the community comes together to support local farmers and enjoy fresh produce. Visit MSFM to experience all it has to offer and help strengthen the local food system. For details on hours and vendors, visit their website or stop by during market hours. We look forward to seeing you there!
