Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers)
How do I volunteer to help at the Market?
Volunteers are always welcomed to help at the Information Booth, Winter Market breakfast, and other special activities. Please see our Volunteer section on this website for information on how you can help.
What is the Winter Market Breakfast?
The breakfast is a full meal made from farmers’ market products, all for just $7.00, The menu is different each week. The meal includes beverages, live music (9 am to 11 am), and the warm ambiance of the community. Breakfast starts at 8:30 am and runs until about 11 am. Come early. The breakfast crew plans for about 250 meals. When the food is gone they close the kitchen—until next week.
I heard there is an information booth at the Dane Country Farmers’ Market. What will I find there?
The Information Booth is a great resource for shoppers. You can learn about special events, pick up literature and maps, and locate your favorite vendor. It also serves as the local Lost & Found center and focuses emergency services, as needed.
What restaurants and grocery stores use the products of DCFM vendors?
A number of local restaurants and grocery stores serve and/or carry items produced by our farmers’ market members. Help us grow that number. When you shop at businesses that provide vendor products, thank them for their support. Encourage businesses who do not carry vendor products to consider the many local, quality products that are available.
