Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Madison City Farmers Market (MCFM) be open if it rains?
Yes! The market is always open rain or shine. We only close in the case of severe weather, i.e. lightning, high winds, or extreme heat.
If it rains, will all of your vendors still set up like normal?
Produce doesn’t mind the rain, so even on rainy days you can expect to find a wide range of local produce and other farm products from our farmers. Some of our vendors, especially artisans, have products that may be damaged by the rain or dampness, and may decide not to attend on rainy days.
Is the market open on holidays or holiday weekends?
Yes! Produce doesn't stop growing around the holidays, so we will be at the market as usual.
Are pets allowed at the market?
Yes! Pets are welcome at the market as long as they are on a leash at all times, are friendly to people and other animals, and any "accidents" are picked up.
Why can't I purchase items at the market before 8AM?
Sales are not allowed to start until the market officially opens. If our market had a brick-and-mortar store, no one would expect us to open earlier than our posted hours. We appreciate your understanding.
Can I come to the market to promote my organization, business, or candidate?
Soliciting, political campaigning, and fundraising is not allowed in any form at the market.
Are you still accepting applications for potential vendors?
