The Fondy Farmers Market is hosting its 3rd Annual Greens Throw-down on Saturday, July 24. If you're serious about greens, you know that Fondy farmers grow more than 23 varieties and Milwaukeeans of every culture and ethnicity come from all over the city to buy them. This cooking contest celebrates Fondy's number one seller and most beloved vegetable. For a sneak peek, view footage from last year's competition.
