Brookfield Farmers Market

Ascension is one of the named partners connected with Brookfield Farmers Market, a Saturday market that runs from May through October in Brookfield. The market brings together a notably wide range of vendors, from Brookfield-grown flowers at Awakening Flower Farm to smoked salmon and trout from Silver Moon Springs and heirloom-corn tortillas from La Cosecha Tortilla Co.. SNAP is accepted, and shoppers can also use a digital Frequent Shopper Rewards Card added to a phone wallet or pick up a free paper punch card at the Information Table.

Why it matters locally

The market’s season includes an “Opening Day of the 36th Season of the Brookfield Farmers' Market,” giving this Brookfield stop a long-running place in the local calendar. Its vendor roster also ties directly to nearby and Wisconsin-based production: Awakening Flower Farm grows flowers in Brookfield gardens, Roberts Produce grows vegetables on a family farm in Mukwonago, and Alaska Fresh Seafood brings salmon burgers made in Palmyra each week.

The mix is not limited to raw produce. Brookfield shoppers can pick up local honey and beeswax candles from Hemken Honey, old fashioned oats milled in western Wisconsin from Oly's Oats, and trout products connected to Silver Moon Springs, where the Winkel family has been raising trout since 1977. That combination keeps the market tied to nearby farms, food makers, and longstanding regional producers.

What you'll find there

Brookfield Farmers Market leans broad rather than narrow, with fresh ingredients, ready-to-eat foods, pantry staples, plants, and a few service and craft vendors all in the same Saturday trip. The vendor list includes everyday staples like vegetables, bread, meat, and eggs alongside prepared dishes and specialty products that change the feel of a typical produce run.
