Situated in the shadow of the state capitol, the Dane County Farmers Market isn't just a local highlight. As the largest producer-only farmers market in the country, there's no where else you can go with more vendors selling products they actually made and/or farmed themselves. Since 1972, the market has been held in the square on every Saturday with few exceptions, ducking into nearby buildings when November arrives and the weather turns too cold — just take note that even when it's nice and sunny, pets aren't allowed on the square.
