Milwaukee Winter Farmers Market Opens Saturday

From the article:

The Milwaukee Winter Farmers Market will return this weekend, kicking off its 15th season with a full slate of new and returning vendors, plus an expanded space featuring hot food, seating and community activities.

The MWFM will occur each Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning Nov. 4 and continuing through April 13. That includes the weekends after Thanksgiving, before Christmas and before New Year’s Eve.

The market’s launch will also coincide with the opening of Milwaukee Food Journeys, a collaborative art exhibit that explores themes of food access, food justice and the ways in which Milwaukeeans engage with Wisconsin’s food system.

The exhibit, featuring artists from Latinas Unidas en las Artes (LUNA) and TRUE Skool, will remain through the end of the MWFM season.

Like last year, the market will be held at 5305 W. Capitol Dr. The building previously served as a church, but transitioned in 2022 into The Table, a ministry with “a strong focus on regenerative farming, food as spiritual nourishment, healthy food access, and entrepreneurship,” according to a news release.

Venice Williams leads The Table and is executive director of Fondy Food Center, which operates the MWFM. Glenna Holstein serves as board president of The Table.
