Farmers Market Encourages Healthy Eating While Supporting the Community

Students from Pineview Elementary School sell their own locally grown produce at RAMC's Farmers Market
Every Friday from May to October, Reedsburg Area Medical Center (RAMC) coordinates and hosts a farmers market that is open to the public. Vendors come from communities throughout Sauk County and beyond, providing a spectrum of fruits and vegetables at the peak of freshness. The farmers market is an asset to everyone involved: local residents and visitors find seasonal farm fresh produce - organic and non-GMO - at a reasonable cost. Local farmers are financially supported, which allows them to continue to operate and support their families. Even local schoolchildren come to sell the produce grown in their school’s community garden! 
And we didn’t let COVID stop us! The pandemic underscored a renewed value in home cooking, food preservation, and a desire to shop in the safety of an open-air market. The blending of improved nutrition, economic stimulation, and educational opportunity is one way RAMC is proud to give back to the Reedsburg Area community.
