Can we take a minute to just appreciate our Kootenai County Farmers who have been bringing you food that they have labored all year to grow and raise themselves each week? Their passion, intentionality, and care for the land and community is seen and appreciated. Here’s to 40 KCFM seasons of bringing you locally grown and raised food. We are always here for you.

Blue Wildrye Farm: Blueberry season has arrived, and so has our newest Fruit on Top yogurt! We begin with our luxuriously creamy, cream-top raw A2A2 Jersey yogurt, then add a generous layer of vibrant blueberry compote made from peak-season berries grown by our friends at Riley Creek Blueberry Farm, a fellow vendor at the Kootenai County Farmers Market. Enjoy it as breakfast straight from the jar, layered with granola for an easy parfait, spooned over pancakes or waffles, or as a simply summer dessert.

Like all of our seasonal fruit yogurts, this flavor will only be here while fresh local blueberries are in season. Remember, pre-ordering is the best way to reserve. You can pre-order for Saturday Market by Thursday night on our website.
