ABOUT US
The Menomonie Farmers Market was found in 2000 by a group of local farmers that were offering their farm fresh produce for sale on Saturday mornings. The market has changed its location several times, and was held by the Clock Tower, in Wilson Park and in Rec Park until it was finally moved to its permanent location in Wilson Park, once the Wilson Park Pavilion was built in 2017. Wilson Park is located in Downtown Menomonie, at the corner of 8th Street and 9th Avenue.
​
In 2024, Menomonie Farmers Market will open for its 24th Summer Season on Saturday - May 18th and will operate on Wednesdays (10:AM-6PM) and
Saturdays (8AM-1PM) through October 19th.
​
Since 2000, the Menomonie Farmer’s Market has seen a remarkable growth in participation and sales. A typical market day has vendors selling everything from vegetables to fruit, eggs, meats, cheese, bakery, soaps and lotions, and handmade crafts.
The market also provides a direct service to low-income seniors and families. The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program and the Women, Infants and Children Program vouchers can be redeemed at the market. These USDA programs assist low-income senior citizens and families in purchasing fresh and healthful produce directly from farmers.
The market also accepts EBT (Foodshare).
