FARMERS MARKET HISTORY
Established in approximately 1919, the West Allis Farmers Market had been a source of fine fresh produce for generations of families. Grandparents and parents have brought their children and relatives to shop at one of the largest, if not the oldest, established Farmers Markets in southeastern Wisconsin.
One reason that the West Allis Market shines above the rest is that all the farmers at the market have to raise what they sell. If you want only the freshest produce grown in Wisconsin, shop the West Allis Farmers Market.
The market is the largest open-air market in the Metropolitan Milwaukee area. Its initial establishment reflects the European practice of shopping daily in such markets that were familiar to many area residents.
When my kiddos and I started geocacheing 6 years ago there was a cache at this wonderful farmers market, we never found it and it has since been archived. I have been to several farmers markets around the state and this is one of my favorites. It is a hidden gem I want to share with the world!
That being said, the market is open from the 1st Saturday in May to the Saturday following Thanksgiving. It is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Saturdays. There are also events on non market days so some stealth will be necessary if you try to find the cache when there are events. Bring your own pen.
Congrats to Livingtoplay and Puzzler for FTF!
