If you are expecting a farmer's market on the scale of the Dane County Farmer's Market on Saturday around the capitol, you are going to be disappointed. The Capitol View Farmer's Market is very small and located off Cottage Grove near the MetroMart. It has a nice view of the capitol building from atop the hill it sits upon.
The market has what you would come to expect from a typical WI farmer's market from food trucks to live music to fresh produce to cheese (of course). The prices at this market are much more reasonable compared to what you may find around the capitol on a Saturday. Of course, the selection doesn't compare.
I would like to stress that this is a very small neighborhood farmer's market so there is a very limited selection. If you are looking for a bite to eat or some seasonal vegetables, you will leave with what you came for, just be prepared to only have one vendor to choose from.
This farmer's market is very relaxed, with plenty of green space to have a picnic and enjoy a snack with family and friends. It's not very crowded so feel free to bring a bottle of wine, dog, and/or frisbee to hang out for awhile.
I would love to see more vendors show up to allow this neat market to grow!
