The Dane County Farmers' Market moves to Garver Feed Mill from January until spring.

media release: Beginning on Saturday, January 3, 2026, and running each Saturday through April 4, 2026, the Dane County Farmers’ Market will hold its weekly Winter Farmers’ Market at Garver Feed Mill, from 8 a.m. to noon.

Customers will find over 50 of their favorite Dane County Farmers’ Market (DCFM) members with products including a full array of seasonal Wisconsin vegetables, cheeses, honey and maple syrups, local meats, baked goods, and many other local specialty items. It’s so amazing to be able to shop for weekly grocery staples, like fresh greens, onions, eggs, cheese, beans and bread made with local grain all in one place. Act local this winter: Fill your pantry while supporting your community agricultural businesses.

Green Box Compost will provide free food scraps compost drop-off at every Winter Farmers’ Market. Bring your food scraps, drop them in the bin next to the Information Booth, then do your shopping for the week! Free drop-off is limited to 1 gallon each week per household, space is limited and we want to serve as many people as possible!

The DCFM offers SNAP/EBT services at every market. Please visit the Information Booth to use your Quest card and Foodshare with your local farmers. At the Information Booth, you’ll also find DCFM merchandise (including warm winter beanies!) and the Dane County Farmers’ Market Cookbook (for warm winter meals!) Find more information about merchandise, including gift certificates on our website.

Visit our website for directions, information on parking, accessibility and more. There are a limited number of parking spots at Garver Feed Mill. However, there are plenty of parking options only a 3-5 minute walk away. Please review your parking options before visiting the market so those with limited mobility or small children can park as close as possible to the building. The walk from these lots to Garver is shorter than a walk halfway around the Square! Garver is also conveniently located along the Capital City Trail bike path and is on several bus routes.

The Dane County Farmers' Market has been a Madison tradition since 1972. With more than 220 members, the DCFM provides the best of each season's bounty year-round.  As the nation's largest producer-only farmers' market, everything for sale at the market has been grown, raised, and made by the member behind the stand. There is no resale permitted.
