MILWAUKEE, WI β€” As the warmer weather and sunnier days stick around in Wisconsin, there will be plenty of opportunities to soak up the outdoors. And for many, a perfect day spent outside in the Badger State includes their community farmers market.

Farmers markets, a longstanding tradition in Wisconsin, offer a great way to find fresh produce, artisan goods and even delicious foods and music. Most may opt to visit the farmers market closest to home, but there are tons around the greater Milwaukee area worth taking a look at.
