Gift Certificate Drawing Continues; New DCFM Holiday Guide Announced

This Saturday, Nov. 14 marks the first indoor Dane County Farmers’ Market (DCFM) of the season. Taking place in the Ballroom of the Monona Terrace at One John Nolan Drive from 7:30 am to Noon, the Monona Terrace market is know for excellent ingredients and additional farm-crafted items not found during the summer markets.

“The Monona Terrace markets, which run through December 19, offer the huge selection of locally produced ingredients that the DCFM is known for,” says Market Manager Bill Lubing.

“In addition, there are many holiday-inspired decorative and gifting items, all made by our selling members,” Lubing continues.

Fresh from the farm wreaths, table decorations, tree ornaments, beeswax candles, catnip toys, gift boxes, wooden spoons and more can be found at the DCFM.

The newly published DCFM Holiday Market Guide will be available through December, starting this coming Saturday.

“There are holiday-centered recipes using ingredients from the DCFM, plus examples of decorating and gifting ideas from the market in the guide,” Lubing says. “For the holidays there is no better place to find locally produced ingredients, gifting, and decorating items than at the DCFM, the largest producer-only farmers’ market in the country. From the turkey to the table trimmings, we have them.”
