Event Details
The Beaver Dam Farmers’ Market located at 215 S. Spring St. exists to provide an open-air, outdoor market in downtown Beaver Dam for consumers to purchase a variety of fresh food and produce and locally hand crafted products directly from farmers, producers, crafters, and artisans.
How about some fresh veggies or yummy baked goods? Shopping for farm-fresh meats or farm-fresh eggs? Our crafts producers specialize in unique gifts for your home or garden, and our plant growers always have seasonal offerings from cut bouquets to nursery stock.
We do accept EBT/Quest/SNAP Cards and will give you market dollars to shop with on Saturdays beginning June 6th, 2026. In addition we accept FMNP WIC and Senior Dollars at many of our vendors. MARKET MATCH: Thanks to our sponsor Marshfield Medical Center, we will double your WIC, SENIOR and EBT/Quest dollars on Saturdays beginning in June.

Our Goals
Our goals are to provide more access to healthy and nutritious food and to enhance the quality of life in Beaver Dam by providing a venue that fosters community and social interaction, as well as cultural vibrancy and economic vitality. It is also to educate the community on the benefits of purchasing locally.
Become A Farmers Market Vendor
Becoming a Farmers Market vendor is an exciting opportunity, but it is important to understand that vendors are responsible for ensuring they have the proper licenses, permits, registrations, and approvals required to sell their products. Requirements vary depending on what you are selling, such as fresh produce, baked goods, prepared foods, pet treats, crafts, or other products. While the Farmers Market cannot determine what licenses may be needed for your specific business, we have compiled resources to help guide you through the process. We encourage all vendors to review the applicable regulations and contact the appropriate agencies with questions before selling at the market.
Application does not guarantee acceptance in the market.
Rules Regarding Sales
Requirements for selling pet foods
Please note that producing pet food or pet treats requires a commercial feed license, compliance with specific labeling regulations, and submission of an annual tonnage report. A commercial kitchen is not required for the manufacture of pet food products. Additional licensing information, requirements, and application materials are available through the DATCP website
Transient Retail Food Establishment Permit
Vendors selling food at a farmers market or special event may be required to obtain a license or permit before operating. Generally, for-profit businesses that prepare, serve, or sell food at temporary events such as farmers markets, festivals, fairs, and community celebrations are required to be licensed. Certain nonprofit organizations may be exempt under specific circumstances, but requirements vary based on the type of organization, food being sold, and number of days of operation. Because licensing requirements differ depending on the products offered and how they are prepared, vendors should review the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) guidance and contact the appropriate regulatory agency to determine what licenses or permits are needed for their specific operation. Obtaining and maintaining all required licenses is the responsibility of the vendor.
For Kids...Want to be a part of the "Mini Boss" Project and Sell at the Farmers Market?
Big ideas start small.
The Mini Boss Project gives young entrepreneurs (ages 17 and under) the opportunity to experience what it takes to run a small business at the Beaver Dam Farmers Market.
Participants will create their own business idea, develop a simple business plan, prepare their products or services, and experience what it’s like to interact with customers and operate their own market booth. Along the way, they’ll build valuable skills in creativity, problem-solving, communication, and entrepreneurship.
There is no cost to participate, but the program requires dedication and commitment as participants prepare for market day and complete their business summary.
Whether they dream of owning a business someday or simply want to try something new, the Mini Boss Project is a fun, hands-on way for young entrepreneurs to gain real-world experience and confidence.
Mini Boss spots open January 2027
