The Dane County Farmers Market, in Madison, Wisconsin, is one of the biggest in the nation – with 160 to 180 vendors every Saturday -- and is also widely regarded as one of the best.
The key to its success? It is a true farmers market, as the market’s coordinator, Larry Johnson, explained in an interview with a reporter from the Wisconsin State Journal:
“We are one of the largest producer-only markets in the country, and by that I mean that the person behind the table must produce the product and it must be in Wisconsin. We have 160 to 180 vendors every Saturday, and that’s pretty impressive. Some (farmers markets) don’t have the same size, some of them allow a re-sale. We don’t allow any re-sale here at all.”
