About the Market
The Menomonie Farmers Market is a Producers-Only Market. All of the items for sale are grown, raised, and produced by the people behind the tables. Absolutely no re-sale is allowed! When you visit the market, you can truly get to know the people who provide your food and create artisan items for your home.
​​
Summer markets are held on Wednesdays from 10am-6pm and Saturdays from 8am-1pm. A typical market day features 30-40 vendors selling fresh fruits & vegetables, various meats, cheeses, eggs, jams, baked goods, flowers, handmade arts & crafts, warm meals and more! You'll have the chance to meet approximately 80 vendors throughout the year. With our flexible scheduling, vendors can choose to attend just one or all 50+ market days.
​
The market is not just a place to shop! We also provide live music on Saturdays, a beautiful grassy area for play, and plenty of seating to catch up with friends and family. We also partner with local organizations and our vendors to provide demonstrations, samplings, and other educational opportunities.
​
In the winter, we partner with the Raw Deal in downtown Menomonie on select Saturdays from 9-noon. You'll find a cozy atmosphere, delicious coffee, and live music, along with our vendors selling bakery items, canned goods, meat, eggs, hand-crafted items and more!
Our Mission
The Menomonie Farmers Market is a non-profit organization founded to support local growers and producers by offering a location for them to sell their products directly to the community. We are committed to pursuing the following goals:
​

To provide an educational forum for consumers to learn the uses, benefits, and processes involved in producing locally grown or prepared food and various creative art forms.
-
To preserve Wisconsin’s unique agricultural heritage and the historical role farmers markets have played in that heritage.

Our History
In the summer of 2000, a group of local farmers began offering their produce for sale in a parking lot off of Main Street and the Menomonie Farmers Market was born. West CAP became an early partner of the market and began providing administrative support in 2004 and managing the market for nearly 20 years.
​
Over the years, the market has been held on Wednesdays and Saturdays at various locations in Menomonie, including the Clock Tower Plaza, Wilson Park, and the Dunn County Rec Park. In 2017, with a generous grant from WEDC and in partnership with the Menomonie Market Food Co-op and the City of Menomonie, the Menomonie Farmers Market was provided a permanent home in Wilson Park under the timber-framed Farmers Market Pavilion at the corner of 8th Street and 9th Avenue.
​​In 2024, the Menomonie Farmers Market was able to support becoming its own non-profit organization and is no longer managed by West CAP. Our Board of Directors is committed to continuing the legacy and growth of the market for many years to come.
