We've been quite lucky this market season as far as the weather goes. But tomorrow's forecast and heat advisory helped us make the decision to move ahead with an inclement weather plan for the safety of our vendors, volunteers & staff, and most importantly patrons. What that means for you:
- no live music or kids' activies
- reduced market furniture
- no food trucks
- vendors who have harvested or prepped for the market can still participate, we'll post a list of who we expect on Tuesday morning.

If you venture out to join us at the market, remember some quick tips to stay safe in this heat: hydrate, wear light and loosefitting clothing, take breaks in air conditioning, limit strenous outdoor activities. As always we thank you for your continued patronage of the market and our vendors. #whitewatercitymarket #farmersmarket #summerheatwave2023

Cottage Baking Law

On October 2, 2017, Wisconsin home bakers became allowed to legally sell their not-potentially hazardous baked goods directly to customers.

Here are two resources that give you all the information needed to understand Cottage Baking Law:

  2. "Best Practices for Selling Baked Goods"

Organic Farm Certification

"As a farmer, retailer or other business, gaining USDA organic certification status is a savvy and ethical business move. However, it's not enough to simply claim "organic." You must make sure that your product is carrying the certified USDA Organic Seal.

The USDA National Organic Standard Seal not only shows your ongoing commitment to a healthy planet but assures consumers and buyers that your product meets stringent USDA organic certification requirements. It will make your product more marketable and profitable."
