South Shore Farmers’ Market

Our community Famers Market. A good mix of fresh food vendors with veggies, fruits, eggs, farm raised chicken and beef, bakers, local honey and maple syrup. A good selection of food truck style vendors with coffee, waffles, crepes, breakfast sandwiches, smoked meats, Mexican fare, smoothies, pizza, Indian cuisine, hand made local pasta, ready-to-bake shepherds pies and pot pies, pastries, cookies and more. There’s typically a musical guest. Not an awful lot of seating but a small number of picnic tables. People do bring wagons, lawn chairs and blankets though. There’s a bike rack in the northeast corner if you want to ride your bike. Bathrooms are limited to the pavilion across the road, so not super convenient but cleaner than a typical porta-potty. There’s also a GREAT playground next to the pavilion and The Terrace beer garden on the lake side of the pavilion. Parking can be limited and takes a bit of circling the streets some days. We Love the breads from Rocket Baby, but they often sell out fast, so get your breads early. We also love the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich from National. It’s a bit pricier than others at the Market but it comes on a nice Ciabatta from Rocket Baby and has a delicious olive tapenade that we love. The waffles are a sweet treat that never disappoints if you’re in the mood. Most vendors accept cash and card. A few accept Venmo instead of cards and some only accept cash and the tokens which you can buy at the tent in the center of the Market near the tent where the band plays. We LOVE our South Shore Farmer’s Market 😊

Beautiful views!! First time coming here, there were less vendors than I am accustomed to at other markets but the views of the lake and downtown make up for it. Still a ton of veggies, crafts and ready to eat foods. Nice that there’s a restroom right across the street. Definitely a nice relaxing way to spend a Saturday morning. I showed up kind of late (11am, market ends at noon, and there were a lot of sold out items from many vendors, so show up early) next time I’ll be earlier. Prices were better than I expected on the ready to eat foods. I’ve been to the Kenosha farmers market and the prices here were much better. $5 for an empanada vs $9 in Kenosha. I’ll be back for sure.

Lots of fresh produce. And then a decent amount of food trucks. It's a beautiful setting in the park.

Such a vibrant place to visit during a cozy Saturday morning. The live music, local shops, fresh produce will amaze you. The Lake Michigan and beer garden is close by. A walk will freshen up your mind.

Very fun place to go. Many varied farmers etc selling great produce etc. Beautiful location on the lake. Beautiful scenery. Can follow up at the beer garden!

Love going to the market! Well organized and executed. Plenty of vendors. A delicious beverage, brat and other favorites!

There are plenty of farmers markets around the Milwaukee area but this is one that actually seems to be loaded up with food and vegetable offerings all over the place. The focus here is much more on food and flowers vs arts and crafts which was a nice surprise. Lots of people coming here to get snacks with their kids and then sitting in the shade to eat before playing in the park or going to the playground. A great way to see what the surrounding neighborhood has to offer.

This market is cool, more food truck type stuff than actual produce stands though. It's super busy, parking sucks and there are a ton of dogs.

This market is my Saturday morning tradition from June through October. Each week, I get to see neighbors and friends, babies, dogs, the curious, and the connoisseur -- all jostling, joking, greeting, and scouting. Good food, options abound for those who want breakfast, brunch, or lunch. My weekly purchases are driven by the season, the hard-working vendors, and my fellow shoppers. From berries and lettuce in the spring to squash and kale in the fall, this market never fails me. I do notice that some days I come with the solid shopping list in mind, only to be inspired by the fresh produce to change my weekly menus. Yesterday I got fresh eggs, aged cheese, radishes, green beans, mushrooms, cauliflower, a brisket sandwich, Flowers, and other odds and ends. I'd also make a specific shout out to the Door County fruit vendor that never fails to bring a smile to my face.

I need to start this off by saying what gets me to the farmers market is breakfast. I am absolutely obsessed with the breakfast pizza from Cedar Teeth pizza. I get there right at 8am and beeline to that stand. They give you a pager while you wait which gives me time to do a lap or two around the market. I have purchased beets, potatoes, zucchini and cherries this season but it's not something I get every market like the pizza. There are other great food vendors there too like the National Cafe and Press Waffles. Only a few more markets left for the season!

This farmers market is a staple in our family. It's right on the lake, has a beautiful view of the city, and has a playground (huge plus for our family). The vendors are always so sweet + there is an over abundance of goods even if you go later. The food scene offered is delicious!! They have multiple coffee vendors, delicious breakfast sandwiches, crepes, etc. this market is one that usually has more variety in the produce section, which I love. Cheap eggs. Yummy meats. Beautiful flowers! Just make sure you have some cash.

There are a lot more vendors which is plus. The only thing I didn't like is dime work on a token system instead of accepting credit. There were a few things we skipped buying because of that. It's always a good place to people watch. And to pet dogs. The selection varies with season.

South Shore Market is great! I love seeing the community get together to support local farmers and businesses. They have some tasty food options, as well as produce, music, honey, flowers, plants and more. It's dog friendly as well, which is perfect for Bay View! All the vendors are friendly, and happy to share what they've grown or made! Such a fun morning to walk around and get some fresh air! Come on out!

tl;dr one the best Farmers Markets in MKE county! I was previously very spoiled by being within walking distance to the stellar Waukesha Farmers Market. When I moved to Bay View, I was heartbroken at the thought of not being able to spend a weekend morning shopping fresh veggies, grabbing a coffee, snacking and hanging with friends ... insert South Shore Farmers Market. AND THERE ARE MORE DOGS HERE. Generally runs June through October. The area is expansive and with a beautiful view of the water and usually live music. It's super dog friendly which gives obsessive dog fans like myself all the ogling I could possibly need/want. The fresh fruit and veggies are reasonably priced and always help to inspire me for the week's worth of meals (I am a horrible cook, so it's mostly chopping things and adding them to salad). Some of my favorite vendors: - Rushing Waters Fishery (located in Palmyra) - great smoked salmon and trout and the spreads are amazing with pretzels or crackers. - Press. Waffles - I haven't gotten one yet but the waffles look AMAZING and I will get one before the season ends. - River Valley Kitchens (known for its crazy variety of mushrooms, but I personally love the granola!) - Sven's Coffee (local and I like its brew) - Multiple orchard vendors are there (I love a good apple and/or cider, especially getting closer to Fall!) - Rocket Baby Bakery (grab a sweet scone to munch on as you walk around) - Cowboy Kettle Corn vendor (delicious, free samples AND a show!) There's just so many things to do and see there and it's a great activity to hit up with the fam, friends and your puppers. Also, after you're done there, stow your veggies off in your car and head over to the South Shore Terrace Kitchen + Beer Garden which is only steps away! Super cute beer garden, yummy sandwiches and outdoor lawn games including a giant Connect 4 game (what better way to spend a Saturday?!)

A great place with water views to browse and buy. We got iced coffee, a bag of assorted mushrooms, cookies, garlic, leeks, and potatoes that inspired soup for dinner. A slow paced place to be. Parking was difficult but the market was varied and people working booths were nice to chat with.

Favorite part of South Shore Farmers Market - Aroma Cafe Coffee! The best service; even with a long line they are working tireless to provide the best coffee possible (with a smile)! The coffee tasted amazing and made me feel so good.

One of my FAVORITE places in the summer! I love starting my Saturday (only day of the week it's open) morning picking up produce for the week or a treat to celebrate the weekend. Vendors are always a good mix of produce, speciality foods, and ready to eat mains. South Shore Park is also right on Lake Michigan so you can easily take your goodies and have a picnic

Best farmers market in Milwaukee. Every time I have a visitor in the city during the time of year when this farmers market is open, I bring them! First, I absolutely love South Shore Terrace. You basically get to go to a farmers market in this massive park and then overlook the lake and city skyline. What could be better?! Next, the vendors that they have here are usually consistent year after year (although I will say I very much miss Funky Fresh Spring Rolls!). You can always get brats, soups, breads and fresh pasta on a weekly basis. A lot of those vendors (away from the lake side) take credit card which is helpful if you don't typically have a lot of cash. The other vendors have awesome seasonal produce. I love their tomatoes when their heirlooms are in season and the flowers just bring so much joy (even if I don't purchase any). If you have not been to this market yet, you are missing out! Prices are reasonable, quality is great and the views are even better.

This is a busy farmers market had a live band playing on the day I visited Did not realize how close the lake front. Some may want to bring a hoody with JS I got a burger from a vendor Very good I will revisit in the future.

Amazing cheap produce and beautiful flowers. Hard to find a parking spot but sometimes you can get lucky.

I took a drive over to this farmers market after the one I just left in downtown Milwaukee was a little disappointing. I knew I found a good farmers market when I had to park blocks away and people were walking in from every direction. The first thing I noticed is all the dogs with the people in the park. This is a big farmers market with lots of people just before 9am and practically on then lake. This really is one of the better Milwaukee area farmers market with a great variety of what you would expect to find. I didn't leave empty handed from this one and spent just about all the cash in my wallet. They had many hot food stands that I didn't try because I just came from breakfast so don't eat before you go and plenty of snack stands also. My visit netted me some good looking strawberries, fresh sugar peas, raspberry muffin and Neys big sky snack sticks. I wish I had planned this instead of a last minute thought so I could have had more cash on hand because it's a great farmers market.

My favorite farmer's market in the greater MKE area. Gorgeous views & awesome vendors. Flowers, veggies, yummy food, and snacks. Has a wonderful community feel and lots of space to spread out. AND grass instead of concrete, with lots of shady spots to hang out and relax.

Our favorite part of summer and fall is Saturday's at the Farmer's Market. Everything is better if you go on the earlier side of things...before 9:30am. That will give you more options for beautiful flowers, shorter lines for waffles at Pressed and generally more options for all the produce. If you love flowers you can buy bunches for $3-$10 and every week is different depending upon what is blooming now. Same thing with the produce, when corn shows up people are jazzed later on the summer you see Brussel sprouts on the stalk and the door county fruit is always a fast seller. Live music, lots of cute dogs, just make sure to bring cash, the ATM inside is not accessible until after 11.

This is one of my favorite markets in the Milwaukee area. Overlooking Lake Michigan on a Sunday morning, the spot lets you take it all in. From the fresh meats grilling, to the numerous bakeries, kettle corn, honey, food trucks, and an awesome array of fresh vegetables. This market is also dog friendly. Live music and family friendly. Parking can be a challenge but can usually be found within a block or two.

Lot of vendors for food. Pet friendly on leashes! More than just vegetables. Flowers and great food to eat !

South Shore is definitely one of the area's best markets! They have such a variety of vendors and the layout is such that it never gets too congested. One of my husband's favorite things about it is that there are dogs everywhere, since they are allowed within the market itself (unlike some other area markets.) The park is a truly lovely location and even if all the picnic tables are full when you want to enjoy breakfast from Press Waffles or any number of good breakfast options, people will usually share or you can plan ahead and bring a blanket for the grass. And its residential in the surrounding area, so you might have to hunt a little bit for parking but never too far.

I really love the South Shore Farmers Market! It definitely has one of the most picturesque locations out of all the Milwaukee-area markets. There is a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, a lovely lake breeze, and lots of shady trees all around the park. The market is very spread out, making it a great place to bring dogs and the whole family! Some tips: 1. Arrive early if you want to avoid crowds. Anytime after 9:30, it starts to get VERY busy! 2. Try to walk, if possible. Parking is limited and there is really only street parking available. If you have to drive, you might have to park a couple blocks away. 3. Like most farmers markets, many of the vendors are cash only. If you bring a credit card, you can pay for special "tokens" that function as cash. Super easy no matter how you want to pay! My only issue with South Shore Farmers Market is the lack of varied vendors. The park is quite spacious and it is not even close to full. There's room for plenty of more vendors, and options here are somewhat limited compared to other larger markets I've been to. I would like to see this market invest in a wider diversity of vendors and products. Other than that, I have nothing but great things to say about South Shore Farmers Market!

A really nice way to spend a saturday morning is to come to the South Shore Farmer's Market! And bring along your well-behaved 4 legged friends ;) I purchased some farm fresh eggs from Norman Stephan who lives out in Franksville. He also raises chicken, duck (muscovy - he says that they are less greasy), geese (which he says ARE greasier) and turkeys. I'm considering a turkey from him for one of the holidays later in the year! If you, too - be sure to grab a paper with his contact info. Next to Norman was another farmer with lots of corn. And he has huge Kohlrabi for $1.00. It's kind of like a giant turnip with a cabbag-ey flavor. I cooked it with olive oil, butter, salt, pepper along with my beets. It actually became the same texture as the beets (depending how long you cook it). For a buck, it was a great value. It can also be eaten raw (on a salad, for example). Also purchased swiss chard for another buck and fresh beets for $2.00. Walk around, though, to look for the best beets. Some were too tiny. Check out the Beechwood Cheese Co.! They have a great gouda, delicious dilly cheese and even chicken soup cheese! No... really :) It's different and interestingly good. I hope they get in a few more vendors here, there's definitely room...

An absolutely amazing and fun experience. I wish I knew about it sooner because I would have been going all summer. Amazing vendors with so many options you could spend hours there (I did)! I also saw vegan and gluten free options from vendors too. Gorgeous flowers and delicious looking fresh foods

South shore farmers market hits all my marks for a good farmers market, but at a remarkably small scale that I really enjoy and appreciate. Organic vendors: check Entertainment: check Food trucks: check Variety:check Dog Friendly: check Coffee: check Beautiful view/enjoyable 'hood: check

5 stars just for the best view of all Milwaukee farmers markets! Cafe Lulu has great bubble tea. It may be my favorite local bubble tea. No one else compares. Make sure you stop at Ney's booth. They sell grilled brats and also frozen to take home. They have a great selection of flavors. Stop at the Lopez bakery tent for a churro and a tamale. Sounds like an odd mix but they are both great. There are so many veggie tents, you should be able to find anything you want. It's a nice crowd. Never any drama. They usually have music that you can enjoy while you chomp on your bratwurst.

First time here and certainly not the last! This farmers market is great! Lots of vendors with a variety of products such as fresh produce, bakery, coffee and ready to eat foods like breakfast sandwiches, egg rolls, brats and hamburgers. The park setting along the lakefront is fantastic. There is ample shade too so you're not out in the hot sun taking in the sights and sounds. Overall it's a wonderful atmosphere to shop and hang out while enjoying some bites. Live music and prime puppy watching. What more can you ask for!

The farmers market is a cool place to hang out - it's pretty much lakeside and there is usually a band or some form of entertainment present. You can go here for breakfast or lunch and pick up a breakfast sandwich, crepes, pastries, or even some grilled meats. There are plenty of local coffee shops that have a tent set up here if you want to grab a cup and walk around. When it comes to the fresh veggies, it seems like everyone is selling the same thing. I really didn't see any differences from tent to tent. On top of that, this isn't a very large farmer's market. Therefore, I didn't really see a whole lot of specialty items. I think the atmosphere is great though, and it's nice to have right there in Bay View for local residents.

I can't love this place any more than I do. In fact, I haven't even bothered to check out the other area markets, because this is everything I want in a market experience. The location is lovely, shaded and sunny and catches all the lake breezes. There is a bike rack for the days when I feel like being athletic. You can bring your dog, and there is usually a dog treat/water station. The range of veggies is pretty repetitive from stand to stand, but the specialties are all standouts. The best mushrooms I've ever had come from here. Sven's AND Anodyne AND National all have stands here. Ney's brats are the best in the world and they stand there giving out samples! Kettle korn happens, crepes happen, mini donuts happen. You see the seasons change when cherries give way to peaches, and peaches give way to apples and pumpkins. Tried the corn for the first time - excellent! The vibe is super friendly, almost like a festival or picnic, even when it's busy people will chat and share the happiness of fresh and local food. I wish it opened in May, and that it could be open during the Frolics. Otherwise, 10/10 would recommend!

I've been coming to South Shore farmers market for years, and it just keeps growing. If there is a single reason farmers markets rank so high on the What White People Like list, this is it. It combines so many elements of what white people like, namely coffee, tattoos, designer dogs, and the idea buying local. Two of the local coffee houses set up shop here, as well as Lopez bakery (serving baked goods [stick with the churros and conchas] tamales, and Jarritos sodas), and The Soup Market (with chilled to-go containers of several flavors of their soups). Lately, too I've seen a smoothie stand, a crepe stand, and an omelette stand (I've never tried any of them but the lines for all three were super long when I was there at 10:00 today). You can also buy local cheeses, honey, meats, jams, free-range eggs (but you have to get there early for the eggs, usually, unless you have some reserved), and Wisconsin maple syrup from a farm just north of the city (yum). Although I saw none today, there are often fresh cut flowers (at a big markup, in my opinion, but since they're a luxury item anyway, they may as well be 5 or 7 bucks for a bunch, right?) Often, there are plants. I am a sucker for plants. In the fall, there's a family who sells various cacti, but at this time of summer, it's generally mostly herbs. And of course, there are fruits and vegetables, which, logically, change from early summer, to late summer, to fall. Today I saw lots of the usuals (radishes, onions, leeks, lettuce, potatoes). I picked up some garlic scapes, whose availability isn't very long. I didn't see much rhubarb, and what I did see looked a little ill, so if you need rhubarb, take some of mine! In the fall, there are usually a couple of competing apple vendors who bring tons of varieties from Wisconsin and Michigan. The apple vendors are super knowledgeable about which types are best for what use. But what I think sets the South Shore market above all the others in Milwaukee is the lake. It's so incredibly beautiful, especially on a blue day like today that visiting the park with an iced coffee in one hand and a big bunch of parsley in the other makes the whole damn winter worth it.

South Shore Farmers Market is a great neighborhood market with everything you could possibly want at great prices. Plenty of local venders selling a wide variety of produce, cheeses, free range eggs, coffee, bakery items, flowers/plants, and breakfast foods. Parking can get a little crazy, so walking there (if possible) is a great idea!

What a great selection. Its fun just to see all the items that are offered for sale, even if you wouldn't buy same. But you should try because there are great surprises. The fresh veggies i bought were perfect. Not old stuff shipped here 2 weeks ago. i tried the brats, Bubble Tea, and rangoon banana. All were great experience. I long for the rangoon again. My daughter claims the tamales are good. Guess that means i just don't like tamales. I tried to buy a jar of african peanut soup but they were sold out, so i need to go there again and make that my first stop. Was too full by the time i got to the crepe place so hope to control myself next time and save room. Bring a back pack so you have hands free to feed your face even after you but a little of everything.

Such a fab way to spend a Saturday morning... Even when it's busy, it's not hard to maneuver the crowd, find parking on a nearby street, and leave with bags full of tasties for far less than the average grocery store. Bring your own tote; it's more comfortable to carry than stuffing plastic bags full of veggies. Also bring an appetite: even if it's 10am, it's never too early for a Ney's Big Sky sausage. The line moves quickly and their staff are just lovely. I'm also learning to not make plans directly after the market; the people are so kind it's easy to start a conversation and then be late to your next thing. I'll be sad when the market ends!

Talk about a perfect Saturday morning! Coffee or cider in hand, strolling through the large selection of farm-grown veggies while dog watching. Heaven! South Shore Farmers Market is the perfect start to the weekend through October. What you can get: veggies, apples, corn, grass fed/free range meats, cheese, baked goodies, etc. How you feel after: #kidatchristmas. The vendors pack up at noon, so get there early. Street parking is usually easy to find if you don't mind walking a few blocks too.

Everything I love about summer in Milwaukee! Gorgeous produce and the only place to get Rocket Baby bread in Bay View now they've closed their satellite store Kids and dogs run around while grown ups catch up with friends. Plus there's South Shore beach and the beer garden for a leisurely Saturday afternoon...

I love the farmer's market! Lots of locally grown fruits and veggies at great prices. I go here to buy: bakery from East Side Ovens for muffins and pecan rolls (get there early for the rolls, they sell fast), St. Ann's peach and onion salsa (they have other really good salsas I haven't tried), soy milk based smoothies, and of course produce. There are also flower and plant venders, oats, maple syrup, pickled veggies, fresh fish (seriously just caught that morning), crepes, kettle corn, and so much more. Many people bring their dogs, which have all been well behaved so far (if you bring your dog, please make sure it can handle big crowds and a bunch of other dogs). Great place for kids, let them pick out all the healthy stuff they want. :) I would suggest bringing a sturdy basket, a reusable bag (the ones many stores sell these days), and possible a drag cart if you didn't arrive by car. Most places have bags available, but I've found bringing my own sturdier bags helps out a lot.

The South Shore farmers market is definitely one of my favorites in the Milwaukee area. There is a great variety of vendors to shop through and get the products that you want the most. The options are obviously seasonal so you see a lot of the same in terms of veggies, but there are specialty vendors that make this farmers market so versatile. There's many food, a couple coffee and drink vendors, and a live band that turn this farmers market into an event. You'll see young adults, older couples, and lots of families with their small children and dogs. It's a very friendly atmosphere that I believe anyone would enjoy.

Hands down best farmers market I've been to. We used to go to the one by the east side library, cathedral square, and shorewood. When we first came to this one, I thought we happened to go on a day with a big event. Nope, it's just that big! Sure the vegetable stands generally sell the same things, but that's exactly how it should be.. Certain things are in season at certain times. We always wind up with more than we planned for. Look forward to every Saturday morning!

Vegetables, leaves, nuts, berries, anything a deer could dream of! Bought a veggie crepe for my girlfriend that had her grunting for more. Wish it were open during the crepuscular hours.

A very pleasant little market... fresh veggies, cut flowers, meats, coffee, tamales (yep tamales), the crowds are not bad, there is a little bit of music (but not too much or too loud), beautiful views of the lake, plenty of green space to eat your goodies and an amazing guy that makes crepes !!

More of a social event than a true farmer's market. Go here to be seen & socialize. Go to West Allis Farmer's Market to shop. Both have some of the same vendors but here they raise their prices. Too many dogs & not enough produce vendors.

The South Shore Farmer's Market is a delight. Fresh vegetables, flowers, herbs, cheese, meat, and also ready-to-eat things like popcorn, local bakery / breakfasty stuff, coffee, etc. It has a nice layout and is great to walk to.

I love this Farmer's Market. It has a nice mix of shopping, prepared foods (try Ney's Big Sky-top notch meats-locally sourced), entertainment and location! Yes, the crepes are good, too-although the line is a bit long, so I typically skip the crepe. Yes, it is true, there are a lot of dogs, but that to me is part of the charm of the market, and it is after all Bay View-people take their dogs seriously here and you really can't go anywhere without running into everyone and their dog here, anyway. Check it out and enjoy!

awesome produce and amazing prices (suddenly slapping my head for not shopping for fresh veggies here all summer instead of the grocery..I am new to this and feel way behind) and crêpes yO. I was intrigued by all the different kinds of dogs there are out there, yeah, I get it, it's a farmers market not a 'dog zoo' but gosh darn it, who doesn't love seeing a bunch of wagging tails?

More vendors - good selection of food, flowers, kettle corn, etc. Great place for the community to get together on a Saturday morning. It is also pet friendly. So grab yourself a tamale and flowers for your spouse and head down before the season is over!

The Beginning of A Perfect Saturday Morning, a story by Katie S. FADE IN: A girl and her husband are parallel parking on a street just south of Milwaukee in her sensible compact sedan. She's wearing flippy floppys, jeans, and a breezy t shirt that goes with her messy hair. It's cool and crisp, but the sun warms up any spot it shines on. They walk over a grassy knoll to the South Shore Farmer's Market with two Jacksons in her pocket. She doesn't have a plan, she'll just buy whatever grabs her. She approaches the first vegetable stand - they have lettuce, tomatoes, eggplant, basil, and it all looks wonderful, but it doesn't make an impression. At the next vegetable stand she finds the largest shallot she's ever seen. Girl: Honey! Do we need shallots? Husband: No one ever needs shallots. Girl: We'll take it! Farther down, the fruit vendor has peaches and apricots. Girl: Do you want peaches? Husband: You know I don't like peaches. Girl: So then you won't eat them if I get them? Husband: No. They pass by the bubble tea camper and the meat purveyor sizzling up tasty tidbits. Her husband is magnetically drawn to the free cheese samples. The sounds of a musician and kids screaming and dogs barking wafts on the breeze like a butterfly. They pass by the mushroom guy. Girl: Mushrooms! Husband: Mushrooms? Girl: Mushrooms! They purchase a mushroom grab bag and head on their way. They've passed two bakeries, but they cannot pass up the third. Dinner rolls and a foccacia make their way into their reusable tote bag. Husband is relocated at one of the coffee stands. Husband: You ready? Girl: I haven't had and Bolzano samples yet. Husband: Do you need one? Girl: No, but if I can't have one, then can I have a crepe? Husband: No, we're going to brunch. Girl: Sweet! Ok, then I think I want cucumbers from that third shop over there. Husband: But there are cucumbers at the one we're standing in front of. Girl: But I like the ones over there better. Husband: Ok, I'll be over there staring out at the lake. Girl: Ok! Can you take the shopping bag? I might come back with an ornamental pepper plant as well. (Husband sighs loudly, hangs his head, puts out his hand for the bag) (Girl walks away toward the stalls) FADE OUT.

Beets, garlic scapes, and the best cherries I have eaten in my life. Dogs everywhere. This is one of the reasons I want to move to Milwaukee.

Great farmers market in a beautiful park on the shore of Lake Michigan. Coffee, Danish and breakfast items are a must try as you walk around this market. Music is performed in the park as well. Bring you dog and enjoy.

A little of everything. Be sure to enjoy a crepe, get some coffee from Anodyne, and pick up some goodness from Lopez bakery. Besides these staples, get some uber cheap produce, but shop around, one farmer may be asking a lot less for a lot more of the same item. I am personally a huge fan of the cheese vendors, I love me some curds, and big wedge of Big Ed's gouda! It can get crowded, and a lot of folks bring their pooches along, but if you go early, you'll be in the clear, and the crepe line will be a lot shorter.

I love the South Shore Market! It is great for beautiful Summer Saturday morning! I can't wait for it to begin this year!

There is no better place to feel the sense of community than at the South Shore Farmers Market. Flowers, food and music. Fresh crepes being made to order. Super dog & family friendly. Great selection of produce, organic eggs, meat and so much more! The mushroom guy has a great selection and pricing as well!
