Shop fresh, local summer fruits and veggies with us, Market Customers!
It’s August, the height of the season! And we have everything that summer has to offer in North Idaho – from blueberries and huckleberries to lavender and cookie dough! Come browse the abundance from our farmers and check out all the locally-crafted goods and foods our Market has to offer. And check out this week’s Youth Vendor: Isobel Pogosov (Spirited Cowgirl Fiberworks). She is 15-years-old and will be bringing crocheted clothing, toys and accessories to the Market.
Every Saturday day through Labor Day Weekend – not far away – our PoP (Power of Produce) Club has a free Kids’ Activity at the Market where your kids can learn about and even taste locally grown produce! Children completing the activity each week earn a $2 token to spend on fruits, vegetables, or food bearing plants! The program is designed for kiddos ages 5 to 12 and teaches children to grow and prepare their own produce.Reminder: Bring your market basket for your shopping or a box for your plants. Our vendors also appreciate small cash bills, especially if you are shopping early.
