We offer two ways that community groups can get involved in the Oak Creek Farmers Market!
Non-Profit Vendor Space
Each week, we offer one vendor space to a local non-profit organization that wants to share information with the community. We provide this opportunity without cost, so that groups can spend one morning per market season sharing their information with market patrons.
Oak Creek Student Groups
Water sales at the market are a great way for student organizations to raise money! Each week the market offers a fundraising opportunity to children's organizations in Oak Creek. Bottled water, generously donated by Savaglia Financial Advisors, is made available for one student group at each market to sell - and that group keeps the proceeds!
For more information about either of these opportunities, please contact us at OCFM@oakcreekwi.gov.
We are looking for engaged community members and vendor nominations to join the 2025 Season Farmers Market Committee! This committee plays a key role in shaping the market experience by providing input on vendor selection, special events, and market operations. Whether you're a vendor, a frequent shopper, or simply passionate about supporting local food and businesses, we welcome your interest. Your involvement will help ensure a vibrant, well-rounded market that serves both vendors and the community. If you or someone you know would be a great fit, let us know—we’d love to have you involved!
If you have any questions or comments regarding the committee or the Farmers Market, please contact Marcia Wayer, Director of Marketing and Public Relations at mwayer@oakcreekwi.gov.
The Market is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

FoodShare refers to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
The market's goal is to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables for low-income families and to provide an additional value-added revenue source for our vendors.
Persons eligible for FoodShare benefits are able to purchase tokens with their benefits card. We are proud to have found a sponsor, IEBW Local Union 494 to offer a match program. We will match up to $30 each week in Milwaukee Market match and up to $20 for WIC and senior vouchers. Our farmers accept these coupons as well as the OCFM coins.Look for the Oak Creek Tent in the center of the market for the FoodShare program.
The City of Oak Creek and the Oak Creek Tourism Commission are responsible for overseeing the operations of the market.
The grounds are maintained by the City's Department of Public Works.
Talk to the vendors and other shoppers. If you see a vegetable, you've never tried, don't be afraid to ask the vendor or the shopper next to you for tips on storing or preparing it.
Come often-the selection at the market is different each week!
