MADISON, Wis. — Growers interested in selling vegetables at Wisconsin farmers markets can learn more about the business at a January workshop hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The Wisconsin School for Beginning Market Growers will run Jan. 16 to 18. It costs $275.
The school’s coordinator, John Hendrickson, said demand for fresh, locally grown vegetables has never been greater and many farmers markets are seeking vendors. Community-supported agriculture programs, in which families buy shares of farmers’ harvests, also are growing.
