We strive to keep this list as accurate as possible. We probably  missed an item or two that is at the market or listed an item as available when it is not. Chances are that not all items mentioned or listed below will be at each market.  If you see an item at the market that is not listed here please email bill@dcfm.org so we may update the list.

If you stop by the Wetherby Cranberry Company stand you're likely
to see this photograph. If you look closely you'll note that it's an aerial
photo of a couple of the cranberry bogs. On the left the cranberries have been corralled into the shape of Wisconsin. In the lane between the bogs Jim and Nodji have constructed the word "vote." On the right, the blue water of the bog represents the state, surrounded by a matte of cranberries.

This is not the first time the Van Wychens have used their
cranberry bogs as a huge Etch A Sketch. Ask them about
the American Flag ... oh, and the blue water..

Tell Us What You Think!

Last week we mentioned that a team of MBA students from the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are conducting a survey of DCFM shoppers. They will be conducting the survey this Saturday at the market. They have also provided an on-line version of the survey. We would greatly appreciate your taking a few minutes to complete the survey by clicking the link below. It will provide valuable feedback to the DCFM Board, so that the Dane County Farmers' Market can remain responsive to patrons and a great place to shop.  

 

Here's the survey link. 

 

 

Thank you so much for participating!
