You're missing a bunch of them. Brookfield being one of the major ones not listed here. Menomonee Falls, Dousman, Oconomowoc, Delafield, Germantown, and more being the rest...

While I do not frequent them myself and I agree with your first points to some degree (it's hard to know where a lot of our produce comes from in the store), but how can you generalize participants in farmers markets in political sense?
"buy a food product from some smelly, unkept liberal at a Farmers Market."
Really?

At a farmer's market, I can pick and choose the product and the vendor - and I find produce that usually looks better and smells better and tastes better than what I can get from a store (and usually costs less too!) -- tomatoes that taste like they should (not like a piece of wet red cardboard); corn that's fresh from the field (not sitting on the shelf or on a truck for the past 4 days), etc, etc, etc
A farmer's market is a social event; a farmer's market supports local farmers; a farmer's market can be like a street fair - get your breakfast with your produce and entertainment at the same time!

AWD – or Angry White Dude, as I believe you once called yourself before you were banned from Patch and had to resurface under a new name – you really take the cake this time. Making farmers markets a political issue? Does it occur to you that farmers have been marketing their produce independently for, oh, about 10,000 years, since the dawn of agriculture? Do you know that the West Allis Farmers Market was founded in 1919, long before most modern supermarkets? Do you have any citations for mass outbreaks of bacterial infections from produce at farmers markets? Are you aware of the mass outbreaks of bacterial infections from supermarket fare, including spinach, sprouts, cantaloupe, strawberries, watermelon, eggs, hamburger, seafood and more?
Ever heard of a "farmers market food recall"?
No. Because you don't know any facts. Most of us are at least as smart as raccoons and know how to wash our food. You, on the other hand, are not as smart as a raccoon.

LOL - - Oh, you're funny, AWD - - I can't even *remember* the last time I voted for a Democrat or Liberal; and the word you are looking for is "unkempt" not "unkept".
Smelly? Well, okay - I like garlic bread and lots of onions with my steak.

What AWD and others don't understand is that a mere 75 to 100 years ago almost all produce and meat came from within 10 to 30 miles of the farms where it was grown. Now, food is being shipped from halfway around the world: frozen, preserved and handled in ways that most of us would cringe if we observed the process. Farmers markets are not the end all. But they get the consumer closer to the producer and allow them to ask questions that the grocery store clerk can't answer. Yes, I support farmer's markets all the way. Too bad our state and fed can't get their heads out of their restrictive controlling a**es and leave it to the consumer to decide what they want. Fresh local chicken, pork, beef, etc. w/o the USDA's tax infringement should be the consumer's right.
I like garlic bread and lots of onions with my steak ( and vension as well) too.
Especially locally grown. Never have known a liberal farmer. Most are of the most conservative. But, what does this former farm boy know?
