I love farmers markets. I don't know if it's the farmers, or the markets, but the combo is one of…read moremy favorite Saturday pastimes. Sign - me - up. Safe to say I've been to quite a few in my time on this Earth. This is the best one. Seriously. I've never been to a better one. The quality of the vendors was top-notch - from the produce, hand made products, and food vendors, to the live entertainment. The whole thing was so well put together. I would honestly make a special trip just to go here for the day. Specifically, two booths to mention. One, Brush Creek Creamery makes incredibly smooth and delicious cheese - not too salty, but packed with flavor. Second, the Swedish bakery booth! What beautiful pastries, also packed with flavor. Not pictured, the countless produce booths were amazing, offering samples of absolutely delicious produce of all kinds.

Really nice farmers' market - they say that Moscow is known for their farmers markets and they were…read moreright! It occurs right downtown and it's fun walking around and seeing stands for produce but also cool art items as well as excellent food places. We had the crepes and they were delicious. There was also a very cool heritage apple sampler that the University was putting on - overall, would recommend!

Great self-service farm stand. I rarely have cash so I love being able to use venmo to pay. They…read morealso sadly had a (cash/coin) theft issue a while back so they had to install a security camera. They usually have produce, eggs, and pork. Sometimes there are other things. Last summer they employed someone who happened to be a bread maker so she also sold her delicious bread in the store. Nice bonus: Sometimes an adorable cat greets us.

I am very thankful for this tiny farmers market…read more It's always easy to find parking and thankfully not crowded. The vendors are friendly and we always find at least one item to buy. A few of my favorite things: + Cider and fruit from Wilson Banner Ranch (local) + Flavored caviar from Two If By SeaFoods (from Bristol Bay, AK) + Wine from the visitor center. They normally close at 5pm but I recently learned they stay open until 6:30 on market days.

There is no one better than the man they call Cole Riggers. The dude just knows how to farm. He…read morecould take soil from either Chernobyl or Fukushima and turn it into pure organic heaven. The man knows how to drive a tractor as well. He tends to go vroom vroom vroom at a whopping 8mph to ensure his crops are intimately tended to. Sometimes he even puts it on auto-tractor so he can step outside to take a leak off the ladder. He out-kicked his coverage in the wife category as well. He said she makes the best sandwiches. Almost Jersey Mike-esque. This onetime he hid on a roof during college to spy on the cops for us. Such a good dude. He also likes Rainier beer...give him so much crap for that. Finally his favorite quote...."this s**t is a dodge"

We usually see the Wilson Banner team at farmers markets but we've stopped by the ranch a couple…read moretimes. At the markets we typically get some of their fruit and/or cider and catch up. My husband enjoyed learning about local agriculture history from Joe so we were sad to find out he very recently passed away. Our first ranch visit was on a super hot day so we just chatted with Joe and bought a jug of cider. It was much cooler the second time (a few years later) so we ended up picking some cherries. I do enjoy eating berries straight from the tree (or bush, depending on the berry) and hanging out on farms, but I think pre-picked berries might be more appropriate for me. That or paying for a bag but trying to get my fill of berries on-site and not worrying about filling the bag for home.

Took the kids to the pumpkin patch today and they were so disappointed. We have been here before a…read morefew years ago and it was amazing. This year it cost $5 a person which was $20 for my group. $20 to go through a small hay maze, climb on a bale of hay and go down a slide is not worth $20. Previous years they have had a corn maze, a petting zoo, horse rides and tons of other animals for the kids to enjoy not this time. The pumpkin patch was much smaller than before. We did find some pumpkins at 50cents a pound yikes! No venders this time, no food sections and sparse pickings in the gift shop. $65.00 with entrance and pumpkins so disappointing-
