The Madison Farmer's Market is an amazing experience, especially at the height of the summer season. I have been to several markets in various states but this is by far the largest with the greatest variety of vendors. I live in Austin, TX where you have a better selection at the grocery store than at the market which barely occupies one block. The Madison market surrounds the entire capital with venders packed tightly together. I like to go early and pick up some beef sticks to munch on while scoping out possible veggies to steam for dinner. I love cheese and what better place to buy cheese than the proclaimed cheese capital of the world? It does get very crowded by late morning and things sell out. So get there early.
