Farmers markets have been providing Wisconsin products to area residents for decades. The West Allis Farmers Market prides itself in serving Milwaukee since 1919, and the South Shore Farmers Market is celebrating a milestone this year with 25 seasons of providing local food and beverage products. A special Anniversary Celebration will take place July 29 at South Shore Park in Bay View with cake, music, and a special Community Day Fair.
