Why Locally Grown?

People worldwide are rediscovering the benefits of buying local food. It is fresher than anything in the supermarket and that means it is tastier and more nutritious.

It is also good for your local economy--buying directly from family farmers
helps them stay in business.

Farmers' Weekly Update

Dear Readers,
  
Temperatures came in at record lows last Saturday, leaving us all with the inevitable feelings of how soon the market season will be a fading memory of summer.
 
This is our last official Saturday market, with our Work Day commencing upon closing of market that day to put all the market tables away for the winter.  This final day of market is traditionally our Customer Appreciation day and we invite you all to come down for a final visit before our goodbyes for the winter.  In the morning there will be free rolls and later there will be free bread and three kinds of soups: Squash, Vegetable Beef, and Vegetarian Vegetable (all soup ingredients are donated by market vendors.)
 
There is still a wide variety of fresh fruit available at Market; apples (Fuji, Gala, Elstar, Wolf River, MacIntosh, Golden Delicious, Jonathan, Red Delicious, etc.), Bosc Pears, Concord Grapes, Italian Plums, frozen huckleberries and cranberries.
 
Farmer Jo will have their apple press for fresh pressed apple cider on site. There are a couple vendors selling hot apple cider with mulling spices.
 
Also, there are plenty of vegetables available and many storage quantities. There are still tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, pumpkins, fancy guords, winter squash, peppers, broccoli, and even salad or stir fry mixes - if you come early.
 
Don't forget the wide variety of crafters and their unique goods which make for great gifts and home decor.  After all, the holidays are upon us.
 
There will be a Harvest Festival downtown on October 24th, 11:AM to 3:PM - one final day of celebration.  Vendors will set up their stands in the grassy courtyard, there will be free hay rides (possible pony rides), pumpkin painting, face painting, and music. This will be another great day for the family.
 
Farmer's Market will have a special market December 6th at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds in bldg 3, 10:AM - 4:PM. 
 
 
 
 
Dehydrating is the removal of moisture from foods to allow for better preservation and long term storage. Though a simple concept at first glance, there are many tricks, rules, and boundaries when dehydrating, making the process a true art.

COMMUNITY TABLE

The Community Table is available to non profit groups only. Our mission is to support and help promote community organizations.  They must not be religious or political.  We prefer youth or educational groups.  There can be no resale and use is limited to two, non-consecutive times per season.  Prior approval is required for anything that directly competes with market products.

 

BACKYARD GARDENER

A Backyard Gardener can try out the market for the first time free. (produce only)
We encourage local growers to try the market for sharing their excess produce.
Buying our food from local producers is a powerful thing.  The market can always use
more farmers to add diversity to what we have to offer the community.

CHILDREN'S TABLE

Do you have a budding entrepreneur in your midst?  Encourage them by
helping them be a part of their local Farmers' Market.
See Market Manager for more information.
