The 2023 Oshkosh Farmers Market opens for the summer season on June 3rd with over 130 different vendors ranging from agriculture vendors, crafters, artists and more. With local live music at the center of the market, Downtown Oshkosh is vibrant every Saturday morning! We asked Michelle Schmid-Shultz, the manager of the Oshkosh Farmers Market, for her top five reasons why people should visit the Oshkosh Farmers Market this summer!
1. The fabulous produce and farm raised meat
The market’s agriculture vendors will fill the market with fabulously fresh produce and farm raised meat throughout the market each week. Explore more than 50 agriculture vendors each week at the outdoor, summer market in downtown Oshkosh! Find an assortment of in-season fruits and vegetables, meats and poultry, artisan bread, crafts, and ready-to-eat foods.
Everything you find at the farmers market is top quality. The produce is fresh and has been grown naturally, giving the product a cleaner and fresher taste. Oftentimes, these products are harvested that very morning ensuring they are picked at peak freshness, with optimal nutrients and taste. This also applies to baked goods and artisan foods. These tasty treats are freshly baked - not processed - with quality ingredients and a dash of love.
2. The Yummy Food
Currently the market has 23 street food vendors and 21 food vendors signed up to vend at the 2023 Oshkosh Farmers Market. From fresh egg rolls, to mini donuts, to Mexican sweet corn, to brisket - there’s always something good to eat at the market!
3. The Talented Artists & Crafters
Over 35 artists and crafters attend the Farmers Market in Oshkosh each year! Browse handmade crafts, local art, and so much more. Walk the streets and you are sure to find a little something for everyone!
4. It’s Oshkosh’s Happy Place
How cool is it when you can actually speak to the person who grew your food? The farmers market brings like-minded individuals from all over your community. You’ll meet local farmers and small business owners, which provides opportunities to ask questions or talk directly with them about their products. Vendors are always happy to offer helpful tips and tasty recipes to help you get the most out of your purchase. The farmers market is a great place to gather with friends and family and spend time with your kids outside. Whether you go for the produce, freshly cut, handpicked flowers, or just to enjoy some live music, there is always something for everyone at the farmers market.
