Brookfield Happening Now

A resident of Brookfield since 1986, I have lived in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Indiana, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Ohio and settled in the Milwaukee area in 1978. I think I can see issues from many different perspectives.

Food and fun

If you haven't been to the Brookfield Farmer's Market yet, you really should consider it. It's not the biggest in the state by any stretch of the imagination. But it is a great place to gather. People run into people they haven't seen in a while. The fresh produce is great. The fresh eggs are outstanding.You can get a cooked brat on a bun to chomp on while you shop. Or try the fresh baked goods for a walking breakfast. Samples are also available at many of the booths.

It's a bit difficult to get around sometimes because of the number of people enjoying themselves. But it is worth the effort.

The only negative I find is that there are some who feel it is too much of an effort to park in the Brookfield Central parking lot and walk a few extra steps. As a result, they park on the grass across the street from the market or, ans in the case of a couple of people this morning, right next to a "no parking at any time" sign.

It still a really good way to get outside.
