Welcome to the First
Indoor DCFM of the Season!
The Monona Terrace will be the home of the Dane County Farmers' Market (DCFM) until the market moves to the Madison Senior Center in January. You'll find over 70 DCFM vendors in the Ballroom of the Monona Terrace during market hours from 7:30 am to 12:00 Noon.
In addition to the terrific produce, bakery, cheeses, meats, and plants, many vendors bring craft and gift items to the Monona Terrace Market. This is the only market where vendors are allowed to do so. These non-edible ag products are still required to be produced by the seller with materials substantially sourced from the seller's farm or business.
Parking, ATM, Information Table
There is parking adjacent to Monona Terrace. You can also find nearby street parking and a number of municipal and private ramps.
An ATM is located in Monona Terrace. Ask at the Monona Terrace information booth, directly inside the doors to the main entrance. The DCFM information table is located either directly outside or inside of the market, depending upon where in Monona Terrace the market is located.
See you at market!Bill Lubing |
At Market This SeasonWe strive to keep this list as accurate as possible. This is a listing of what these vendors expect to bring to market from this week to the end of the year. Check with individual vendors for product availability for a specific week.

Garlic and Sapphires
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts  Garlic and Sapphires Sauteed Brussels Sprouts. --Photo by kiwidutch by Nimz Serves 4-6 Ingredients - 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, cleaned, finely shredded julienne (I cut mine into slices and it worked fine)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped (of course add more or less depending on your taste)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
Directions
- Over medium heat, sauté the garlic in the butter for about a minute then add the Brussels sprouts and saute until wilted, about 7 minutes. We like to cook until they get a bit brown which took about 10 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add cream and serve.
- Feel free to adjust proportions to suit your taste!
