A New Retail Space for Local Growers and Producers
Farmers Market TO GO is an indoor farmer's market meets grocery store where you'll find the best Wisconsin has to offer and know every purchase directly supports the farmer's and producers who grew or made the product. A new way to grocery where vendors share expenses and keep 100% profits which means you know you're getting the best prices while directly supporting hard working local businesses. Celebrate Wisconsin with every purchase at Farmer's Market TO GO!
It's hard out there for small businesses, especially the ones who grow and produce the food we eat. If we want to see more local options on the shelves at affordable prices, we have to build something different. While there is nothing quite like getting outside and supporting your local farmer's market, it's not an option for everyone's schedule. For Vendors, staff is limited and breaking into retail or opening a new location can be a daunting process. Farmer's Market TO GO aims to give vendors their own retail space, but for a fraction of the cost and with a lot more support.
From artisan bread, local meats, cheeses, honey, bakery items, pickles, preserves, dried goods, and even convenience meals crafted from local food. You'll find nutritionally rich options for a quick lunch or to create healthy meals for your family. Join us for our Grand opening Celebration November 1st -3rd and enjoy rotating samples from our market family! Enter to win a Vendor Sampler Basket, a Month Unlimited Membership at our neighbor The Salt Spot, or a KIKUICHI knife - just by making a purchase during the Grand Opening Celebration!
Located at 17000 W. Capitol Dr. #2, Brookfield, WI 53005

Organizer | Interim Retail Manager
Alena Joling
Alena grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and has been sharpening at farmer's markets for well over a decade. The idea for Farmer's market TO GO comes from knowing that most Market vendors struggle to make income in the winter and that often the food they don't sell gets wasted because they simply don't have time to preserve it all. Farmer's Market TO GO aims to help solve both these problems.
Building rentable commercial kitchen next door!
