Blink and you'll miss it…read more While I appreciate having a local farmer's market, the limited selection of products is going to make it difficult for this farmer's market to ever achieve critical mass. There are only six stands this year (three vegetable, one honey, one bread and one garlic and onions). The produce quality is hit and miss (sweet-smelling melons and fresh sweet corn were the highlights, the zeppelin-sized cukes and kohlrabi as big as your head looked pretty sad). At this week's market, there was not much in the way of fresh herbs, greens or hot peppers. While you can pick up a couple of items, you'll still need to go to the grocery store to complete your menu. While the location offers high viability, the sound of traffic rushing by doesn't create much in the way of ambiance. I wonder if moving the market to the more shaded Village Park would create a better atmosphere? I know I'm spoiled by the Dane County Farmers Market and something of that scale is never going to happen in Waunakee. Even something half the size of the Hilldale Farmers Market would be nice.

To Matt W.; First…read moreand foremost I would like to thank you for stopping by the Waunakee Farmers Market. Unfortunately the limited selection of products is not only due to the fact that there has been drought for more than two years now and farmers are finding it hard to find ways to keep their produce watered. Have you seen the corn fields lately? They are drying up and that is not suppose to happen until fall? Can you now imagine what the produce is looking like? And second the limited selection actually means that the vendors can make some money at the market unlike the HUGE markets out there. There is only a certain amount of parking for the vendors and to be honest I limit my market for the simple reason that I actually care about my vendors and hope that they make money coming to my market. And there are not only six stands this year- sorry but I don't know where you got that information from? I have six produce vendors alone, one honey vendor, one bakery vendor, one jewelry vendor, and had an asparagus vendor in the spring time. Maybe you did not walk completely around to see this. Produce is hit and miss only because the true farmers wait until they have it ready for the market patrons. So if something was missing, it most likely was not ready yet. As far as the over sized produce, did you take the time to ask the vendor what exactly it was? Because the kohlrabi as big as your head is actually suppose to be just that. It is a high breed and is guaranteed not woody like your normal sized ones. That is why that vendor grows them. As far as fresh greens, herbs, and hot peppers, I have two vendors who have fresh herbs, greens and almost all my vendors have hot peppers. Maybe the patron needs to actually walk around the market and look at what my vendors have on their tables. And as far as going to the grocery store, you will always have to go to the grocery store because the market can not sell soda, or milk, or processed foods per regulations from the State. I never seem to have a problem finding what I needed for a meal unless it was those items. I too wondered about moving the market to a different location only to find out that years ago it was in the park and my vendors did not make money there. So they asked the Waun-a-Bowl if they can park there because it was on a main hwy way. Thus brought them more income. If patrons are so worried about the atmosphere they would not come out period. I for sure would not go to the Madison market now since people are up there rioting because that is not a great atmosphere either right now. As far as having a bigger market, I am sorry to say this but that is not going to happen. I have been market manager for eight years now and I care about my vendors to know that if it gets too big, they don't make money. I want my vendors to make money. And that is not all that easy either when you have vendors who want to give this market a shot and then quit on me after two or three weeks. The vendor has to stick it out as well. They have to gain the trust of the patron. Several of my vendors have been with this market since day one, and have continued to show me they want to come back every year no matter how tough it gets. So as far as this market goes, I would say it has ran pretty good considering it has been around for more than 16 years. It is there for anyone looking for great, locally grown food, and friendly vendors. I have yet to met someone not friendly at my market. And I am so thankful that my vendors are loyal to this market. So it may lack something that you did not find there, it has plenty of produce for the next patron. And I sincerely hope that your posting didn't ruin it for the next patron of the market. Sincerely, Cheryl Lohry Market Manager

We made the mistake of going to Trader Joe's on a Sunday, and it was absolutely packed. The parking…read moregarage was full, so we had to park on the street--which should've been our first clue to turn around, but we didn't. Inside, it was shoulder-to-shoulder with shoppers. That said, we managed to grab a few items we wanted, and the checkout line moved surprisingly fast. We picked up the Pad See Ew, Paneer Masala with Rice, and a couple of ice creams. Everything we tried was tasty, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the frozen Pad See Ew was. The portion size is on the smaller side, but at $4-5, it's a solid value. Note to self: avoid Trader Joe's on weekends; weekday trips are much better.

Trader Joe's is a national grocery chain that still manages to feel like a neighborhood store. Most…read moreproducts are their own private label, and you'll find a strong selection of organic produce, vegan options, and even fresh flowers and succulents right at the entrance. The back of the store has a nice beer and wine section--think Whole Foods-style offerings but at lower prices. For example, a six-pack of beer for just $4.99 isn't the best tasting, but at that price, it's hard to complain. Here's my biggest tip: avoid this store on weekends. I made the mistake of visiting on a Sunday around noon, and it was chaos. The underground parking garage holds maybe 20 cars, and the line to get in stretched onto the street. I ended up parking on the street in the neighborhood two blocks away, which wasn't terrible, but once inside, it was a different story. Every register line had 20-30 people, stretching all the way to the back of the store. Overall, Trader Joe's offers great prices and unique finds, but unless you enjoy battling crowds, I'd recommend going on a weekday.

Love this store. Prices are amazing compared to other grocery stores. The only knock against Aldi…read moreis they don't carry every item imaginable like the larger stores. But the items they do have are usually much cheaper and of the same or better quality. I began going to Aldi just for their wine selection (which is also really good!) and then began grocery shopping there on a regular basis. It's my go-to store now. I've tried some of their beers and they've been OK. Like other Aldi stores, this one has been recently renovated so it's much nicer and better organized. For newcomers, it's important to remember to bring a quarter for the shopping cart and tote bags since they don't bag for you at checkout (you can also buy recycled or plastic bags there). And if Aldi doesn't have everything on your list, there's a HyVee conveniently located next door.

I like the idea that you use your own money to get the cart out and bag your won stuff . It encourages people to recycle the bags and avoid over usage of the plastic bags. The selections there isn't impressive but after a while, you will get used to going there and you won't need other big grocery stores anymore. We go to Aldi three out of four times. I love the fact that every week is different in aldi. They have special sales run each week and you will never know what you find there. If you still aren't an Aldi fan, give it a few weeks, after seeing the difference in your receipt, you will start to like it just like I did. :-) Happy saving!

Pizza: well this was big for us as a party of two so we have the other half left over. The crust was so crunchy. Toppings were delicious! Real clams, creamy. I thought this pizza got better with each bite. Super cheesy, pulls apart. Would definitely come back to order their other ones!

For those outside Wisconsin, you may not have heard of Woodman's--a local, employee-owned grocery…read morestore that's open 24 hours. Surprisingly, they carry a wide selection of international products. I was delighted to find these viral ice creams at the West Side location (there's also one on the East Side of Madison). These ice creams became popular about 1.5-2 years ago. I first tried lemon in LA late 2024 and then mango in Houston earlier this year, but this is the first time I've seen them in an American grocery store. While they're also available at Global Market (an Asian grocery store on the East Side), Woodman's price is unbeatable--just $9 for a box of three, compared to around $12 plus tax in LA. The outer shell is a crunchy white chocolate coating, while the inside is fruity ice cream flavors like mango, peach, lemon, and apricot (no actual fruits). They also offer unique flavors such as durian, grape, and tangerine. It's great to see Woodman's carrying these, hopefully more people will get to try them!
