Farmers Markets near Viroqua, WI

Viroqua sits at the center of Wisconsin's Driftless organic-farming country, and its downtown market at 116 S. Rock Avenue reflects that. Vernon County has one of the highest concentrations of organic and CSA farms in the Midwest, with Organic Valley's cooperative headquartered nearby, so vendors here lean toward certified-organic produce, pasture meats, and artisan foods. The market runs through the growing season a short walk from the town's food co-op and independent shops.
