Shop local summer flavors with us, Market Customers!
It’s July! 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.
This week’s activity – the Smoothie Bike! Every Saturday day through Labor Day Weekend, 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.

Our rich, raw A2A2 Jersey milk with a crown of cream is finally here, and we’re so excited to share it with our community! Raw milk also offers a nutritional edge, with:
✔️ Natural enzymes to support digestion

Kiss My Biscotti: Thanks to locally sourced farm Pamelot Lavender for suggesting I bake these newest biscotti treats! The aromatic hint of lavender mingles harmoniously with the bright zestiness of lemon, creating a biscotti that’s as fragrant as it is delicious! We will also have scones baked fresh morning of market!
Garden Party Fibers: My new handspun yarn this week is from my daughter’s targhee sheep, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. I have handspun the soft squishy white wool and plyed it with a silver lurex yarn. Big 90 yard skeins and some small ones, bulky weight and sparkly! See you Saturday, juaquetta.
Lake City Bakers: At Lake City Bakers, the new ready to eat Cookie Dough Bites were a hit on Wednesday, so we’ve made some more for Saturday’s Market! We also have dough available in 1 pound rolls for cutting and baking or whatever your sweet tooth desires! If you are more of a savory fan, we will have our Pepperoni Pizza Fritters!
Lilly’s Lemonade: Come check out Lilly’s Lemonade for a fresh way to cool off.
