This Saturday, KCFM is celebrating YOU!

For 40 years, our community has shown up to support local farmers and artisans, and this week, it’s our turn to show YOU a little love!

Join us for Customer Appreciation Day, where the folks you support week after week will be serving up FREE homemade soups and pastries as a little thank-you for being part of our market family. Enjoy live music, delicious food, and all the wonderful things you’ve come to love about your farmers market!

And of course, it’s still a full market day! All your favorite farmers, food producers, and artisans will be here with the locally grown, raised, baked, and handmade goods you love. Whether you’ve been shopping with us for decades or just discovered us this season, you’re part of what makes this market so special. We wouldn’t be here without you!

Saturday, October 17 9 AM–1:30 PM

Highway 95 & Prairie Avenue, Hayden

Blue Wildrye Farm: There’s something about fall that makes us crave the warm, comforting flavors of apples, maple syrup and fragrant spices. And we’ve brought all those delicious flavors together in our newest seasonal creation: Maple Apple Breakfast Sausage!

Handcrafted right here on the farm with our pasture-raised Berkshire pork, this special-edition sausage is studded with sweet, juicy morsels of apples grown by a local farmer and fellow farmers market vendor. Our Maple Apple Breakfast Sausage is available for a limited time this fall, so be sure to give it a try while it’s here! You can pre-order on our website by Thursday night for pick up at upcoming Markets.

To all of our wonderful customers: thank you! Your support means so much more than simply shopping with a small, local farm. Every purchase helps make it possible for us to raise our animals with care, nurture healthy soils, and manage our pastures in ways that restore and enrich the land. We’re deeply grateful that you choose to support a way of farming that puts the health of the land, the animals, and our community first. Together, we’re doing more than producing good food. We’re helping build a healthier, more resilient food system—one delicious meal at a time. — With heartfelt gratitude, Suzanne and Tim
