Welcome to the Madison Commons, a website designed to provide news and information about all of Madison's neighborhoods and a crossroads for the discussion of community issues. The name comes from the idea of a village commons, a place for news, talk, debate, and some entertainment, too, that's open to everyone.
[1]While the outdoor season for Madison Farmers Markets is coming to a close, consumers can still find fresh, Wisconsin-grown produce through late fall and winter at several indoor markets in the Madison area.
If you are looking for fresh fruits and vegetables, organic foods, dairy products, meats, herbs, teas, and nuts, there is a good chance the markets will carry those items and many others.
Here’s a sample of what you can find at three of the markets. The map below includes the locations and details.
