Discover the local food scene year round!
Coming this fall 2024, Farmer's Market TO GO will bring you all your favorite market vendors year round. As a not-for-profit organization, our mission is to support small food-based entrepreneurs by offering rentable commercial kitchen and retail shelf space. But we need your help! We chose grassroots fundraising over traditional funding methods because this truly is a project for the community and with your help we can keep shelf space affordable for even the smallest of businesses to get their feet off the ground and keep prices low for you, our future customers.
From fresh produce to artisan bread, meats, cheeses, bakery items, pickles, preserves, dried goods, and even frozen convenience meals crafted from local food, you'll find everything you need to create nutritionally rich meals for your family. Experience the best of the local food scene in the Greater Milwaukee Area!

Founder | Organizer
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.
Kitchen Manager | Head Chef
Jenny Lee
Jenny Lee, founder of Kiuda MKE has been making a name for herself serving up delicious Korean American food. She knows the struggle to find and maintain a rented commercial kitchen space and is excited to not only make this easier for other entrepreneurs, but also to make unique meals and preserves from locally sourced foods!
Consultant | Interim Retail Manager
Angela Mo
