Other agricultural activity in the Madison area involves the growing of fruits like cranberries and popular vegetables, including snap beans, carrots, corn and potatoes. On Saturday mornings in the summer, the Dane County Farmers' Market is held around Capitol Square, the largest producer-only farmers' market in the country. A smaller version of this market is held on Martin Luther King Boulevard on Wednesdays during the summer. In late fall, this market moves indoors, first as the Holiday Market at the Monona Terrace. Later it becomes the Late Winter Market at the Madison Senior Center. This market attracts numerous vendors who sell fresh produce, meat, cheese, and other products. The popularity of fresh and local produce has led to a farm-to-table culture in Madison—the city is home to several James Beard Award winners, gastropubs, and farm-to-table restaurants. Morning Buns, a variety of sticky bun made with croissant dough, were invented in Madison at the late restaurant the Ovens of Brittany.
