There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh, local produce, especially when it’s in season. Visiting your local farmers market is one of the best ways to enjoy the diversity of Wisconsin agriculture while supporting the hardworking farmers who grow our food. This guide makes it easy to know what’s in season in Wisconsin, from tender asparagus in May to sweet corn and tomatoes in August. When you shop in-season, your food travels fewer miles and supports the people growing it right here in our state. Plus, shopping at farmers markets allows you to ask growers directly about how your food is grown, giving you a closer connection to what’s on your plate.
When you choose local, you’re doing more than filling your basket with colorful fruits and vegetables—you’re investing in Wisconsin communities. Every purchase helps support farm families and keeps dollars circulating in the local economy. Whether you’re picking up sweet corn for a summer cookout or squash for a cozy fall meal, buying in-season produce makes mealtime more meaningful. So grab this seasonal guide, head to your nearest market, and celebrate the rhythm of Wisconsin’s harvest all summer long.
