Sheboygan Farmers Market

Sheboygan Farmers Market pairs shopping with a nonprofit framework tied to Sheboygan County Interfaith Organization, giving this market a distinctly mission-driven identity alongside its regular vendor operations. The main summer market is held at Fountain Park at 8th Street and Erie, with Wednesday and Saturday market days running from early June through October 31. The market also extends into a winter season at First Congregational Church UCC on Bluff Avenue, so the calendar does not stop when the outdoor season ends. EBT and Double Your Bucks are built into the market experience, making fresh produce part of the market’s operating emphasis rather than an add-on.

Why it matters locally

The market’s own emphasis is direct: shopping here supports local farmers, keeps purchases focused on locally grown products, and connects families with fresh, healthy food. That local-food mission is reinforced by programs that widen access instead of limiting the market to cash shoppers. The market accepts FoodShare and offers EBT at the market, with Double Your Bucks referenced as part of the same system for fresh produce vouchers. It also distributes Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers during June, extending buying power for low-income seniors purchasing fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Those details make the market not just a place to buy produce, but a local food access point with named support programs behind it.

What you'll find there

The clearest product picture comes from the market’s voucher and winter-market materials: fresh produce is central, with a few pantry and handmade goods also named in winter references. Rather than a broad vendor roster, the available details point to a market mix anchored by fruits and vegetables and supported by a smaller range of shelf-stable and craft items.

• -Shop fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program-eligible offerings.
• -Find fresh produce that can be purchased with EBT and matched through Double Your Bucks vouchers.
• -Look for winter-market goods including fruit and pickles.
• -Browse nonproduce items such as yarn during the winter market season.

The market calendar also includes an Annual Meeting expectation for vendors, showing an organized structure around participation.

Know before you go

No dogs is the clearest visit rule to plan around, so shoppers bringing pets will need to adjust before heading to the market. Summer market days are held at Fountain Park at 8th Street and Erie, while the winter market moves indoors to First Congregational Church UCC at 310 Bluff Avenue. If you are using EBT, head to the SCIO information booth to receive wooden tokens for shopping. The SCIO Farmers Market info tent is also the named check-in point for vendors, which makes it a useful landmark once you arrive. Restrooms are not available, so that is another practical detail to handle before your visit.

Payments & SNAP

The market accepts FoodShare and offers EBT, with cardholders directed to the SCIO information booth to receive wooden tokens for purchases. Double Your Bucks is part of the market’s payment and voucher setup, providing matching for up to $10 in fresh produce vouchers. Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers are also distributed in June for eligible shoppers.
