Tosa Farmers Market

Firefly Real Estate serves as the presenting sponsor of Tosa Farmers Market and the presenting sponsor of its Power of Produce Club, a clue to how strongly this Wauwatosa market ties shopping to family programming and food access. The market runs from June 6 to October 24 and brings together more than 50 farmers and food producers with produce, plants, flowers, bread, baked goods, cheese, coffee, waffles, popsicles, fish, meat and poultry, and prepared foods. Set in the village area around Underwood Avenue, it pairs weekly grocery shopping with music, makers markets, and Saturday yoga near Hart Park.

Why it matters locally

Over 50 farmers and food producers gather here each week, giving Wauwatosa seasonal access to Wisconsin-grown and locally produced food in one market stop. The market is guided by a volunteer board of directors and a staff market manager who describe their work as supporting local agriculture and business in Wauwatosa. Its programming extends that mission beyond sales: kids can check in at the Info Booth each week for $2 in tokens to spend on fruits, vegetables, and food-bearing plants through the POP Club. Vendors also donate unsold products to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Eastern Wisconsin, connecting the market’s weekly trade to families spending their days at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

What you'll find there

The mix here leans broad rather than niche, with staple grocery categories alongside ready-to-eat items and a few treats that make a Saturday stop feel longer than a quick produce run. Expect a market built around farmers and food producers rather than a small add-on vendor row.

• -Find produce, plants, and cut flowers from the market’s weekly lineup of farmers and food producers.
• -Pick up bread and baked goods as part of the regular market mix.
• -Look for award-winning cheese among the featured food producers.
• -Grab coffee, waffles, and popsicles from the prepared-food side of the market.
• -Shop fish, meat, and poultry alongside other grocery staples.

Monthly Makers Markets take place on the first Saturday of the month on Underwood Avenue, while local musicians and artists appear every week.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, a policy that may shape plans for anyone used to bringing a pet along on a Saturday market walk. The market is located at 7720 N. Harwood Ave., with the Info Booth positioned near the Tosa Farmers Market shed for weekly POP Club check-ins and other on-site guidance. If you are aiming for a visit with extra programming, Yoga at the Market runs every Saturday morning from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. just over the bridge to Hart Park, taught by Inner Light Yoga Studios. One date to avoid is July 4, when the market is closed.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted here, including use of a QUEST card to purchase tokens at the market. The market also accepts Milwaukee Market Match, WIC, FMNP, and Senior FMNP, and eligible farmers accept those vouchers at their booths. Payment access is a central part of how this market operates, not an afterthought.
