Can I bring my dog?
Since 2022, the West Bend Farmers' Market has welcomed well-behaved dogs, we cannot emphasis WELL-BEHAVED enough. Dog owners/guardians are 100% responsible for their dogs actions at the market. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that dogs are non-aggressive, enjoy being around kids and other dogs, are on a leash, and under control at all times. Dogs (just like humans) are required to use the appropriate restroom facilities & their owner/guardian is required to clean up after them. ***Dogs and owners not following these requirements may be asked to leave at the discretion of the Farmers' Market manager/attendant.
Are all Farmers' Market products certified organic?
No. Different vendors choose different production methods. We encourage you to talk to the vendors to learn more about their products! For more information, visit the Meet the Farmers page.
Can I print a map of the market?
Yes, maps are available for print. COMING SOON!
How do I volunteer to help at the market?
We need you and we love our volunteers! Volunteers are always welcomed to help at the information booth, weekly prep before a market, set-up, tear down, and handing out information. Please see ourHelp Us Grow page for more information.
Can I use a credit card at the West Bend Farmers' Market?
Each vendor at the market has different payment policies. Some vendors also accept credit cards or other alternative payments like Paypal or Venmo. But, ALL of our vendors accept cash.
Can I use SENIOR/WIC FARMERS' MARKET NUTRITION PROGRAM (FMNP) vouchers at the market?
The WIC (Women Infant and Children) and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Programs offer one-time food benefits to eligible participants each year. Each eligible participant receives checks that are redeemed at local farmers' markets June through October on fresh fruits, vegetables and fresh cut herbs. This program is separate from Foodshare, and checks can be redeemed directly at eligible vendors. Not all vendors at the DCFM accept FMNP checks. Vendors that accept FMNP checks will have a yellow sign displayed at their market stall. For more information on Senior and WIC Farmers Market Nutrition program.
Does West Bend Farmers' Market Participate in FoodShare programs?
Sorry, not at this time. We are working on including the program in the near future.
