Milwaukee Public Market
About the Market
Background
The Milwaukee Public Market is known for its diverse array of family-owned specialty food vendors, offering fresh produce, meats, and gourmet items. The market also honors Wisconsin's culinary heritage with a state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen dedicated to Madame Liane Kuony, a beloved local culinary icon.
Practices
Vendors at the Milwaukee Public Market often serve as both the producers and sellers of their goods, providing customers with direct access to high-quality, locally nurtured products. The market emphasizes the importance of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and offers a variety of organic and specialty foods.
The Rest
The market features a café-style seating area known as the Palm Garden, and hosts monthly cooking classes in Madame's Kitchen. An outdoor seasonal farmers market operates from May to October, showcasing a variety of Wisconsin-grown and crafted products. Visitors are encouraged to engage with the market through sensory experiences, and parking is free for the first hour.
