After hosting their first successful West Allis Makers Market in June, The West Allis Farmers Market has teamed up again with the West Allis Cheese and Sausage Shoppe and Eat West Allis to host a second (even bigger) market on Wednesday, Oct. 24 from 5:30 to 9 p.m.
This time, the urban market will bring more than 80 Wisconsin artisans and craft food producers for an evening of shopping, life music and good eating. And – while you might think it’s too early – Christmas is coming soon. So the market presents a great opportunity to get some early shopping done.

Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
