Madison Main Street
+ The Madison Farmers Market
= A Beautiful Combination
Starting in 2021, the Madison Farmers Market will come under the umbrella of Madison Main Street.
We could not be more excited about working with Main Street. The Market Advisory Committee has been working towards this since summer. We know that Madison Main Street can help create some consistency for Market; do things that we (as a group of volunteers/farmers) can't get done all on our own; leverage their expertise with grants and sponsorships; improve our publicity/outreach to bring in more customers; build relationships with the downtown community of business owners and restaurants; and just let us build market overall.
We'll be meeting throughout the winter to iron out the plan for 2021. Expect lots of things to stay the same: farmers will still be on the committee running market; market hours and location will be the same; etc, etc! We do anticipate some changes - new ways of publicizing market, bringing back the Farm to Table Dinner, finding a new breakfast vendor, etc - all things that will help market grow. Most importantly, know that Main Street - and everyone on our Market Committee - wants to hear from you, vendors and community members! Take a few minutes to jot down what worked and what didn't this season, and any and all ideas you have for making market better in 2021. We're all ears! Expect a survey of some sort later this winter, plus chances to share your in person like always.
