Eau Claire Downtown Farmer's Market

Being a locavore and seasonal eater, it is with relish (sorry, pun intended) that I announce this year's schedule for the single best farmer's market in Central Wisconsin. The Eau Claire Downtown Farmer's Market, located in the pavilion at beautiful Phoenix Park is a must-do for any healthy eco-minded, community-loving person who really wants to know where their food is coming from. Heck, bring the whole family! Talk with the farmers. Aside from a huge selection of local and organic veggies, you can find free-range meats, salsas, flowers, breads, cheeses, maple syrup, honey, dog treats, kettle corn and a variety of local art. Usually during the full swing of midsummer, there is live music from local musicians as well. I just can't say enough about this wonderful market. If you love food, check out this summer-long event. Here's the schedule:
Saturdays in May
2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th
7:30am - 1:00pm

June 1st - October 31st
Wednesdays, 7:30am - 1:00pm
Thursdays, 12:00pm - 5:00pm
Saturdays, 7:30am - 1:00pm

If you somehow can't find time to get to this, you can also try two other great farmer's markets in town: The Oakwood Mall Farmer's Market, which takes place in the parking lot along Golf Road; and the Festival Foods Farmer's Market, which takes place in the Festival Foods parking lot off of Mall Drive.

Support your local farmers and invest in your local economy! Peace!
