Farm Fresh Direct to You! Buying Local in Lake Geneva
‘Tis the season for fresh vegetable, fruit, homemade jams and wonderful plants and flowers, and the best place to find them when you’re in Lake Geneva is at historic Horticultural Hall. Every Thursday morning, beginning between 8:30-9:00am, the local farmer’s market opens at this downtown venue, just 3 blocks north of Geneva Lake. While the number of vendors is small, the selection is wonderful. Last summer I enjoyed brilliant yellow and purple baby beets, sweet sugar snap peas, gorgeous gladiolas, and the smoothest honey I’ve had in a long time. In addition to fresh produce, you can select homemade crafts and jewelry, meet the locals as they sip fresh coffee and move from table to table, and gather enough goodies for several picnics. Remember, shop early and bring your own shopping bag – eat green and live green! Horticultural Hall is located at 330 Broad Street, Lake Geneva, WI.
