The F.R.E.S.H. Project Shawano Farmers Market
Saturdays in Shawano, Wisconsin, the F.R.E.S.H. Project Shawano Farmers Market feels like a neighborhood reunion for folks who actually know their food. Honey is a quiet star here, sold by local beekeepers amid a colorful mix of vegetables, breads, and crafts. You can taste the difference in jars that smell like sunshine and speak of sunflowers, clover, and late-summer blooms, all from vendors who work the hives themselves. The market isn’t just honey, though; it’s a vivid slice of Shawano life with a busy, friendly Saturday crowd, sometimes live music and free samples, and a wide variety of goods from many vendors. Buying is easy on market day, with stands that accept cards and SNAP/EBT, and a visitable setup that makes wandering the stalls a pleasure. If you want local honey from Shawano and a sense of community you can feel in your cart, this is the stop you return to week after week.
