The South Madison Farmers’ Market is located on the South side of Madison, Wisconsin and is one of the community’s greatest assets. Fresh, organic produce, flower bouquets, meat, and baked goods are just a small taste of what you might find at the market. You will also find an accessible and enjoyable community gathering place where everyone is invited to come and stay awhile!

The diverse population of the South side of Madison means diversity in the products you will see. There is something sure to please everyone’s culinary preferences. You will find many specialty products at the market that are not available at your local supermarket. We also give a fair market price for farm fresh produce so prices are also sure to please everyone.

The market provides consumers with information on organic produce, locally grown fresh produce and their benefits. Monthly events planned around produce in season, such as strawberries, corn, and tomatoes provide the opportunity to sample farm fresh Wisconsin produce, enjoy local musicians, and visit with friends and neighbors. We’re focused on nutrition, community, diversity, and friendship more than anything else and we plan to keep it that way!

Food scraps recycling drop-off returns to the South Madison Farmers' Market starting on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, and ending on October 29, 2024.

Individuals may drop-off certain allowable food scraps to a designated drop-off booth for free.

The market is located at the corner of South Park Street and West Wingra Drive.  The actual address is 1602 South Park St.

Food scraps drop-off will be available from 2:00pm until 6:00pm on Tuesday evenings.

The food scraps acceptable in this program are the same materials that would be suitable for a backyard compost bin. Coffee grounds, egg shells, raw fruits and vegetables, and other similar scraps are allowed. The program cannot accept meat products, bones, compostable plastics, paper products, grease, or dairy products (including cheese).

Additional details about what can, and cannot, be accepted at the food scraps drop-off site can be found on the Streets Division’s Food Scraps website.

Sustain Dane staff at the food scraps drop-off tent will also be able to provide guidance about what material they can accept.
