Forage Kitchen Coming to Milwaukee Public Market

Milwaukee, WI – August 20, 2024– The Milwaukee Public Market is excited to announce the addition of Forage Kitchen, a health-forward, Wisconsin-based eatery, to its lineup of locally-owned vendors. Forage Kitchen will bring its farm-to-fork philosophy to the Historic Third Ward destination, with plans to open later this fall.

Forage Kitchen, founded and owned by Wisconsinite Henry Aschauer, prides itself on supporting local Wisconsin farmers. With a commitment to “healthy food that’s as good for your taste buds as it is for your soul,” Forage Kitchen sources fresh, local ingredients to create nutritious and delicious offerings that reflect the bounty of Wisconsin’s agricultural community. Some of the local producers they support include Carr Valley Cheese in LaValle, Flynn Creek Farm Produce in Verona, and Rocket Baby Bakery in Wauwatosa.

“Forage Kitchen’s journey started in 2015, not long after I graduated from the University of Wisconsin. Nine years later, we are thrilled to bring satisfyingly delicious, locally sourced food to the Milwaukee Public Market community,” said Henry Aschauer, owner of Forage Kitchen.

This will be the first downtown Milwaukee location for Forage kitchen. In addition to the popular grain bowls, salads, soups, and wraps made fresh from scratch, their Milwaukee Public Market location will introduce an exclusive new array of fresh juices and an expanded wrap menu. Patrons can also enjoy the flavors of Forage’s line of organic, functional beverages, including kombucha brewed with Milwaukee’s own Rishi Tea and its decaf cousin, tepache.

Paul Schwartz, Executive Director of the Milwaukee Public Market and Business Improvement District #2, commented on the new addition: “Forage Kitchen’s connection to local farmers aligns perfectly with the public market vision. We are thrilled to welcome them and look forward to the fresh, wholesome meals they will bring to our community. We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to The Green Kitchen for their years of service to the public market community.”

Forage Kitchen will take over roughly 375 square feet of space currently occupied by The Green Kitchen. The Green Kitchen will continue to operate through September 1.
