Carl Flaig of Flaig Family Farm in Rudolph finds value in selling his beef and produce at farmers' markets, including the Dane County Farmers Market in Madison. It's the largest producer-only farmers' market in the country. Carl's aquaponics system and cattle ranch brings fresh produce, fish filets, and beef year-round to Wisconsin consumers, restaurants, and retailers. He says it's a major asset that SNAP recipients can purchase food from farmers' market vendors. Carl was recently in Washington D.C. with Wisconsin Farmers Union asking lawmakers to support a strong Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
