| - I miss the farmer's market every week when I look in my email box and get my newsletter. Yes, I still subscribe to stay connected. The abundant produce, meats, honey sticks, fresh flowers, fresh pastas, trout ladies, cheese bread, cheese spread, CHEESE CURDS! are all awesome. This morning ritual of mine is something I miss more for the sense of productive community. This is because I've been coming here ever since I was 3 years old in my red wagon. We would see neighbors, made relationships with local vendors, attended market school for kids (you do things like plant your own strawberry, or learn about compost), my mom's friend even dated Farmer John for a while... There is truly something for everyone. One of my favorite things about the market though, is that it doesn't close in the winter. It is moved the Madison Senior Center, and though the pickings are much slimmer, you can get a six dollar market breakfast every sunday morning. It's done by volunteers that sometimes include Madison celebrity chefs like Chef Tory, using market products. The result is a healthy, delicious meal set to whatever live music group is playing, on an otherwise uninviting WI winter morning.
