PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MARKET...Here are just a few comments about this years new and improved Fort Atkinson Farmers Market:

" I am so excited about this market. It really is a place to meet your friends and neighbors and feel connected to the community while you get your shopping done. I love it."

" Buy local and eat local. I'm all for it. In these times of high prices and questionable food sources, I like to support our local farmers who can insure me of their food production methods and who often are using sustainable practices. I'll keep shopping Fort Farmers Market for this reason alone."

"Each Saturday I bring my grocery list down and get most of the groceries I need for my family for the week...2 dozen eggs, bread, cheese, lettuce, chicken, shrimp, mustard, hamburgers, honey, onions and more. Plus I know where everything was made and can talk with the people who made the food our family will eat. It's almost all here and it's fun listening to the great music while we shop."

"We come as a family and there's so many things to do for the kids...facepainting, petting zoos, music...that they are entertained and engaged while we also get our shopping done. Better than Saturday morning cartoons and a family friendly activity. Great job."

"I love riding my bikes down here with my husband and kids. We have some coffee and muffins then wander the great vendors. I've found great gifts for my family...pottery, jewelry, soaps. This summer when I have to shop for birthday presents, I'm going to head to Saturday's market before I drive to the mall."

Each Saturday, you as a consumer and community member help pump over $2000 into our local economy and directly into the businesses of your neighbors and friends instead of into far away corporations who don't know you and who you don't know how they produced their goods. Thank you for improving our local economy by this choice and more importantly building a sustianable community in Fort Atkinson. Love where you live...SHOP LOCAL.
