OK, I will say I just moved here. Just moved from a city with a great Farmers Market, amazing I…read moremight say so I am a little bias...but this is not really a bias things, more a question. I have spent the last 25+ years going to the Minneapolis Farmers Market every weekend from April to Sept/Oct. Even on weeks that I wasn't going to be home I would come down for the people, the sounds, the smells, the fresh produce. I have this thing in my mind about Farmers Markets and supporting local businesses, local growers and buying good clean healthy products from people who do this year after year! Watching young and old, rich and poor come down to buy locally grown, seasonal products! As a trained Chef, lover of food, lover of people and crowds everything about a farmers market hits for me! I have been to a lot of famers markets in a lot of Cities and States as well, all along those lines for the most part... Now the Boise Farmers Market is very nice, lots of great vendors, good food trucks, Awesome Bagels (shout out to @Good Time Bagels) but the pricing for produce is quite honestly bizarre ! I have been here only 3 months but I find Boise overall to have a much lower cost of living to what I am used to. Restaurants, stores, coffee, alcohol...the little things I enjoy in life are much less expensive...except veggies at the Farmers Market! I would routinely pick up fresh lettuce of various types at the market for $1-2 dollars a head...Boise $7-10??? $7 dollars for a bag of lettuce, are you kidding me, $10..WTF??? $3 for a very, very small bunch of carrots...something that I would expect for $1...This is NOT the markets you would pick up your weekly need of veggies at, you couldn't afford to. $11 for a loaf of fresh bread, really...that's like double what I would pay at Whole Foods (whole paycheck as it's known). Now I get getting a fair price for your product, for your work, what you do...but it's a head of lettuce, it's a carrot...are the costs of growing that much more? That is a general question. MN is a very high tax State, especially compared to ID...not why I moved here at all, love the Boise vibe from the first time I came for work! I very much love this city, the people are so nice but the farmer market both confuses me and disappointed me all at the same time! I will come down ever weekend, I will enjoy the people, the smells, the food and coffee...especially the Bagels...but I will NOT buy lettuce which is such a shame! If you have ever eaten freshly grown lettuce compared to the stuff you get from the grocery store, everything about it is so much better. It actually has flavor, a crunch, taste...but not for $8 (using an average) that's just stupid! Where do the chefs buy fresh produce? Where do the families who want to buy local, want a healthier life for their families...where do they shop? Curious!

What a cute market! Tons of parking in the area or on the street as well as bike parking in the…read moremarket. Every one of the vendors we spoke with was friendly and the myriad of products available was great. We spit a breakfast sandwich (olive tapenade, sausage, egg, and more!) as well as a mango smoothie (tart) from one vendor, before walking through the market. We ended up buying a bottle of wine and a jar of jam for our journey home. Minus 1 star because it was a) a bit expensive and b) full of dogs even though signs say no dogs (I like them, but not everyone does - for those who don't, it would be good to enforce or at least be aware, it's not a dog free market).

What a great value for such wonderful produce including the best corn and melon and peaches we've had all season. The friendly people who work there are an added bonus. We are eager to return for more. Highly recommend you go. THIS N THAT: 1) PARKING: Gravel lot. 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Loose, big scale gravel here is not doable for folks using wheelchairs. 3) HUCKLEBERRY BONANZA: They had fresh huckleberries in ziploc bags in their refrigerated case. Apparently there is a bonanza crop of huckleberries this year. These came from Baker OR area.

Introduced to Richardson Family Farms' remarkably good organic strawberries as available in 2 lb…read more flats in early September at the Boise Co Op by friend Carl Y and his wife, my husband and I found these fragrant, perfectly ripe, super delicious gems to be the best strawberries of the season. That they were local and organic and harvested so late in the summer intrigued us enough to seek out Richardson's in Emmett and pick our own. WORKING MEDITATION There is a sort of meditation involved in being in a place like this doing the work of picking berries. The only sounds were the wind rustling plants, the click of grasshopper wings in flight, the buzz of yellow jackets seeking out the fruit over-ripe and the upbeat voice of brother talking to sister in the next field as they picked berries for the market. Add in the aroma of the berries as warmed by the sun, it was a pretty sweet experience all around. THE DRILL The drill here to pick is pretty informal. When they see your car pull in, one of the folks who work on the farm (we met both the owner and his son) will ask if you're there to pick, give you a box for the berries and point you in the direction of the plants with the most ripe fruit. The owner even gave my hubby a strawberry picking tutorial, how to recognize the perfectly ripe ones from those that seem ready but aren't quite yet. When you're done, they'll weigh your boxes and tell you what a ridiculously little amount of money is owed. WEEDING FOR BERRIES The owner told us for folks who want fresh berries but who feel they cannot afford to buy them, he is happy to trade their work to help weed the rows for berries in return. Nice barter system it seemed to us. Work for food. THANKS TO FARMERS My strawberry picking days are in the rear view mirror due to limits introduced by MS but I had a lot of experience in my youth and enjoyed supervising my hubby's first time efforts! He thought it was fun for an agricultural excursion day and enjoyed every minute of his couple of hours. But he also recognized it would be back breaking to pick berries for a living. We both took a moment to tell the Richardson Farm family members who were doing that work, this is truly a family operation in the fields as the owner has more than a dozen children,, how much we value being able to simply swing by the Co Op to buy their fine berries because of their work. It was a verbal hug of America's family farmers of whom we think good thoughts all the time. CO-OP AVAILABILITY If you're planning on buying via the Co Op the berries should be available there at times into October. The folks we met at the farm went out of their way to say how much they appreciated having the Co Op as their partner. THIS N THAT: 1) PRICE: If you want a true appreciation for what a fair price is on these flats of berries at the Co Op, venture out and pick for a couple of hours and consider the cost to the farmer to organically grow them, pick them, package them and transport them to market. Then consider the cost of the Co Op to put them up for sale. 2 lb. flats at Co Op are $7.95, so just under $4.00 / pound. If you compare to the most commonly available CA Grower (Driscoll) for organic berries pound for pound, these locals are a lower cost. If you pick your own at the farm, they cost a mere $1.50 / pound. Factor in the cost of travel to get to Emmett and the opportunity cost for your time, that Co Op price is a bargain too! 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Hard packed, gravel covered pathway. Neither porta-pot is accessible. 3) OTHER FRUITS AND VEGGIES: Sometimes available. Yesterday they included cherry tomatoes, Armenian cucumbers and Italian prune plums. 4) CONTACT INFO & GETTING THERE: If you plan to venture out, the farm is a little tough to find. The best way to zero in is via their website linked here. http://idahoberry.wordpress.com/ 5) THE OWNER: Worth saying he is an eccentric type of man. He has run for Governor at least once and his personal, legal name is Right to Life. You are not going to meet Old MacDonald if you visit the farm.

We were on a LIME scooter ride on the greenbelt, and this little set up caught our eye. We paused and discussed going over to check it out. A guy at the bar yelled to us "It's better over here! We have beer!" Come to find out this was co-owner Mike who is such a great person. We were roped in! We sat at the cool bar on the tree stump stools (this place is SO COOL!) and were immediately sold. Tom was talking about these drinks called Boozies. (my new favorite thing) I of course had to try one. They come in grapefruit or cranberry. GO FOR THE GRAPEFRUIT! And this is what I drank ALL. DAY. $7/can. Didn't even care. They brought out 2 cornhole boards and we ruled the court! Probably played 20 games and met so many cool and new people in the process. A band started up around 7, and it was a great vibe. other notes - - only 2 portapotties, but were relatively clean. - Boozies, and 3 beers from Western Collective. The IPA was good! - food trucks & live music! - amazing view of the river - big umbrellas for shade / if that's your thing. Mike and Tom deserve major high fives for this rad place. What might look like a gravel lot with some old spools & tree stumps - officially kicked off my 2019 summer. Planning on coming back every time I'm in town! Thank you for the memories!

The first thing we noted is that it was very easy to park. The market was a lot smaller than most…read moreother markets I have been to, with only about twenty stalls and a couple of food trailers. About half the vendors were selling crafts and half were selling food. Personally, I'm not interested in crafts, so I'm taking away one star because there were only about a dozen choices for eating. We checked out the market in the morning because since it was going to be hot later in the day. Next time, though, we would rather come at lunch time because there was some lunch-time fare that looked delicious: a hot dog and sausage stand (with very friendly proprietors that were a lot of fun to chat with), a tamale stand, and a trailer that sold "Thai rolled ice cream" for dessert. Another thing different from other street markets I have been to is that there were a couple of stalls where kids were selling food. I'm not sure how the other vendors, whose prices were comparatively high, felt about kids who were basically setting up a lemonade stand with super cheap prices -- but we liked it. brownies for only 50 cents each, while we paid about $3.50 for a scone at a more traditional bakery vendor. There was also some music, although it happened to be a sort of mediocre singer-songwriter. Update: After reading more about the market, I see that it started out as a youth market and the organizers still encourage young people to participate. That's great! When we were there there were two youth-run food stalls, both with tasty treats at low prices.

Super cinchy! Located at Meridian City Hall Plaza, the Meridian Main Street market is easy to get to. It is bit smaller than other markets, less crowded, more relaxed and I wasn't worried about losing Indigo in a crowd. This market had a little bit of everything. We sampled only a few places and were not disappointed. We got coconut milk and rice pudding (will update when I find out the vendor name) , a soda coffee (so much better than it sounds) from Brew'd Attitude, a pastry (kouign amann) from Gaston's Bakery, and a candle from the Luna Light Project. We listened to live music as we enjoyed our drinks and newly acquired goodies before heading home. If crowds aren't your thing, you like to support small businesses, you enjoy live music and sunshine, then you will enjoy this pleasant market. Note: The Meridian Main Street Market is formerly known as the Meridian Youth Farmer's Market, please see their website for more details. Indigo gives the Meridian Main Street Market 40 stars for friendly people and fantastic treats!

We arrived about 10-15 minutes after they opened, which is at 9:00 am. Due to all the fires and the air quality index being 154, there were not as many vendors (I was told by a vendor that Meridian actually cancelled their Saturday market, due to the air quality issues). Still, there were enough to make it worthwhile, and we purchase salsa from two different vendors, some Huckleberry jam, some lavender, and my wife bought some earrings. I agree with other reviewers: the prices seem high for some items, for example, the jam I bought was $15 for one jar and the honey is $18 for a larger bear, $10 for a smaller one. The salsa was more reasonable, though I paid $9 for a 16 oz container. There seems to be ample parking and the vendors we interacted with were very nice and personable. I also would like to see more local produce stands, though the one I did see was, again, expensive. The produce stand on the south side of the 44 going west toward Linder is much more reasonable and they have a lot of selection. Still, we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.
