Hey y’all, it’s Brittany — your Madison Farmers Market Manager for the very last day. 💛
Thank you all for supporting me over the past 2.5 years, and for supporting the market and our vendors for even longer. I couldn’t leave without saying a huge thank you to our incredible vendors who show up week after week — rain, snow, heat, or freezing cold. Whether they already worked 40+ hours during the week or were having a rough one personally, they still showed up. I could not be more grateful to have gotten to know each and every one of them during my time here, and there truly aren’t enough words to express how proud I am of all of them.
When you shop at the Madison Farmers Market, you are supporting dreams. Local dreams. Dreams built with early mornings, long nights, hard work, and a whole lot of heart.
And one thing I’ve learned through all of this — farmers markets don’t just magically happen. There are so many moving pieces, long days, early mornings, late nights, phone calls, setup, teardown, planning, problem solving, and people behind the scenes making it all come together every single week.
To the committee — and especially Jared — thank you for all the support, listening to my wild ideas, friendship, and vent sessions along the way. It truly takes a team.
To Madison Main Street Program — I am so incredibly proud of this team and its mission. You make Madison better, and you make everyone who knows you better too.
To Austin and Lindsay — thank you for the lifelong friendship, memories, memes, funny sayings, cry sessions, and of course, Charlotte.
Thank you to Ken, Ann, Will, and Mike for volunteering through all the long, hot days and always being willing to help wherever needed. Your support never went unnoticed and meant more than you know.
Thank you to Brad, Ellie, Briar for being the markets number 1 fans and our families who switched holidays, birthdays, and events around to help with my every Saturday schedule.
Thank you to Mayor Bob for your continued support through the years — even when it involved public speaking (LOL). And thank you to my other Lindsay C, Andrew, Emily, Laura, Hilary, Colleen, Margo, Jeff, Noah and ED, who is truly the MVP.
I know I’m forgetting some people, but please know how thankful I am for every single person who helped make this market what it is.
I can’t wait to see where the market goes next — who joins, what new goodies show up, and now I finally get to be a frequent shopper without my food spoiling… if you know, you know. 😂
Thank you, Madison. 💚
