| - So, for my 100th review, I decided I need to review something extra special. Since I haven't put in my two cents about one of the most awesome things about Madison summer and fall, I decided its time to review the farmers market.
Very near and dear to my heart, the farmers market (specifically on Saturdays) is not only a place to see and be seen by friends and the entire community, it is also the perfect way to start out your day. Yes local farmers sell fruits and vegetables, but you can get so much more beyond that:
CHEESE, cheese spreads, cheese curds, local honey, maple syrup, pastries, bread, coffee, plants, cut flowers, popcorn, fish, game, sausage, eggs, beeswax candles, specialty garlic, goat cheese and ice cream, jam, springtime flower bulbs, pumpkins and gourds, hot peppers, homespun yarn, Amish-made fruit pies, and the list continues...
Set surrounding the state capitol building with street musicians performing, and local kids groups doing random shows, and political booths at every corner, so much happens in the community during this weekly gathering. After you've done the loop, turn off down onto State Street for a walk and continue to experience why Madison is such a unique and wonderful city.
