What better way to spend a summer weekend than by shopping for local goods?
This season, look for Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery cheese at our hometown farmer’s market in Fort Atkinson, Wis., and at the Shorewood Farmer’s Market in Shorewood, Wis.
A lakefront village north of Milwaukee, Shorewood is an idyllic setting for a market. Vendors, live music, and community engagement abound amidst farm fresh produce and locally sourced products.
Shorewood champions their gatherings as “an opportunity to engage directly with the growers and producers of food, teach kids about the importance of our agricultural roots and nutrition, and connect with our community within and beyond the village.”
The market is located in Estabrook Park and will run from June 16 to October 27 on Sundays between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
After shopping, head to the Estabrook Beer Garden, the first public beer garden in the U.S.A. after Prohibition. The garden features imported beers from the Munich Hofbräuhaus in Germany as well as local craft beers, ciders, seltzers, draft root beer, and soft drinks. It sits on a bluff just above a waterfall and is steps away from park amenities such as disc golf, trails, and playgrounds. Bring a picnic, gather with friends, and enjoy the view.
Be sure to say “Hello” to the Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery staff at whichever market you attend, and happy summer!
