Return of the Farmers’ Market
By Matt Rezin • Apr 14th, 2008 • Category: Top StorySaturday, April 19 is the opening day for the Dane County Farmers’ Market for 2008. The market has been in existence since 1972 when then Madison mayor Bill Dyke saw a need to unite Madison’s rural and urban cultures. The way to do this was to host a large farmers’ market every Saturday during the spring and summer months where local farmers could come and sell their goods on the Capitol Square.
