Farmers markets are a staple of Milwaukee’s summer, and the increased return to normalcy means more communities are once again embracing their local farmers and vendors for fresh food.
This year a new market joins the array of opportunities to mingle in the open air and purchase fresh produce and other goods. The Brewery District is launching a market focused on farmers and vendors who share a passion for growing and supporting local agriculture. The Brewery District is home to over 50 businesses, two parks and UW-Milwaukee’s Joseph J. Zilber School of Public Health. It is a walkable and sustainable Platinum Certified LEED Neighborhood Development, integrating the principles of smart growth, new urbanism and green building, according to the first national standard for neighborhood design.
Since the beginning of the Brewery District, more than $300 million in public and private investment has been made in the neighborhood. The Brewery District Farmers Market is another facet of its mission of bringing together people across the city to celebrate the history and culture of Milwaukee.
