If…read moreyou are looking for an off-season item you may not find it here because its not in season, but that's the point. During the summer they have delicious corn, peaches, watermelon and strawberries. They also carry lots of local products like salsa, cheese and baked goods. The staff are very helpful and make sure you get the best pick of their produce. This place gets super busy so go on a Sunday or during the week. They accept cash and check only, leave your credit cards in the car.

I love that I can find almost everything I need here: local, fresh eggs, Cloverleaf milk, local cheese, Zeppole Bread, various candies, beans, jams, salad dressing.....It's all here. The people who run it are very nice and help you with any questions you have. Compared to a huge grocery store, it's relaxing to actually feel like you have time to shop without being in someone else's way. Check it out! You won't be disappointed!

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!

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).

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!

No place better to be on a Saturday morning than the Capital City Public Market. Currently, as of…read morethe Summer of 2022, the Capital Saturday market is located at the Grove Plaza. The market runs from April-December every Saturday 9:30 am- 1:30 pm. The Grove Plaza is neighbored by the Boise Centre, ICCU Arena, and the BSU downtown campus. I live nearby, so I usually walk but there is both street parking and public garage parking nearby. Here you can find local produce (although, limited if you come later in the day), locally raised meats and fish, ceramics and other handmade products, and ready-made foods. I usually grab a mixed greens salad for $5, which lasts me the whole week. Something about these greens, they do last forever! I had a friend pick me up a bag while I was out of town (yes, I'm that addicted to this salad mix) and he actually bought twice as much as I usually do and they were still nice a crisp 1-2 weeks later! The microgreens here are great, and I love that you can get a mix of different microgreens in one container. There are also a few vendors that sell foods to snack on while you're shopping. My go-to is to grab a cup of coffee that's locally roasted, there's a spot that does have dairy alternatives along with flavored syrups that I love. The dumplings with the spicy momo sauce are the highlight of my Saturdays whenever I come here. If you're in Boise on a Saturday in April-Dec the Capital City Market is the spot to be. Highly recommend it, it's a Boise gem! Never too crowded but still a great spot to people and dog watch (Yes, dogs are allowed at this market)!!

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.

I don't think I've ever had strawberries without ANY flavor. These had less flavor than water and I ended up throwing the entire bunch out. I was there yesterday and saw new flats, that seemed to be from a different grower, although still from Mexico, I attempted to ask the older gentleman if he knew if these were any better. All I got was a surly response about how he didn't even like strawberries and how would he know? I then asked about when California berries might be available. A mumbled response of "not now" was all I got. I guess business is so great that you can treat long-time customers like crap. Nice.

Imagine being able to shop for fresh, local and ethical produce and goods on Facebook, while supporting small-scale producers. Simply join our Reko-Meridian group on Facebook and place your order by commenting on the producer's weekly posts. You will then be able to pickup orders every Wednesday at Julius Kliener Park at 6pm. (Shout out to Tia Groves, one of the admins. The page is easy to follow and very organized.) Today was my first time at this location. Went to the REKO-Nampa location a few weeks ago. Noticed some of the same vendors at both locations. When you arrive you really have to pay attention as there are not a ton of vendors (at least, not yet) and vendors sell out of the back of their vehicles. I had a difficult time at both identifying who I bought from online. Here's the 411 on vendors I bought from in Nampa and Meridian. The Meridian location has 5.6k members (so, I hope to see this market grow) The Nampa location has 1k+ members Wufyre Coffee Roasters Offers two types of coffee. I got the Sumatra. The aroma filled my car all the way home. Took everything I had not to make a cup pdq. Saving it for tomorrow morning. Steele Legacy Honey & Crafts Bought their Wild Sweet Clover Honey. They have two types in various sizes, along with beeswax, honey butter and honey sticks. Didn't check out the crafts. I'm a big fan of using local honey - good for your health. They had a separate vehicle for dairy products, too. Not sure if these two are connected though. Hipwell Ranch Wanted to order meat from them, but I waited too late. All natural and grassfed. Challah Bread Home Svetlana's challah bread, cinnamon bread and pocket cookies are the bomb! Made french toast out of the cinnamon bread - and wow. Groves Country Mushrooms Family farm of 4th generation farmers. Their mushrooms inspired me to buy the mushroom cookbook they sell and get the 'mixed' bag of mushrooms. I don't know much about it and this is my first step into learning all about it. I made a mushroom sauce with my mixed bag and it was so good. Housewife at Heart Miranda had take & bake items and tamales. I just bought her Chicken & Potato tamales today. Can't wait for dinner tomorrow night! Ohana No-till Farm I got all kinds of salad items from them, plus their raspberry jam. Note: To order from them, go to their web site, ohananotillfarm.com, NOT the Facebook page. They delivered it to my house at no charge! Don't know if they do this all the time, but BONUS! These are the only vendors I've bought products from (so far) - not to say the others are probably amazing, too. This is a wonderful way to support our local businesses and get fresh and healthy food, too. Many do appreciate if you pay in advance of pick-up - most use Venmo. They list payment options and such in their weekly posts. Do note: Covid pre-cautions are not being followed by most vendors or customers. No one is hassling each other for it. Most are following the 6 feet apart recommendation.

So I felt a brick in the pit of my stomach the first time I strolled in to Stonehenge Produce and spied bottles of Faygo® Red Pop nudged in between the Sioux City Sarsaparilla and a small-batch root beer in their soda coolers. Folks, Faygo® is the reason for the downfall of society. Case in point? The Insane Clown Posse. But if one looks beyond the Faygo® - and the perpetual blanks on the shelves of Stonehenge's Shaker-style pie cabinet - there's a lot to like about Stonehenge Produce. And although this location on Overland pales in comparison to the original Stonehenge white barn on Fairview, the Overland Stonehenge does a fair job of providing locally- or regionally-sourced produce, dairy, eggs, meats, and treats, to residents of Boise's southeast side. Such services are of particular utility between Halloween and April, when the farmers markets are hibernating, leaving Stonehenge as one of the only places to procure farm-fresh eggs. And for those trying their hand at cheesemaking, Stonehenge carries Cloverleaf whole milk and Natural Farm Fresh raw milk. I also take out-of-towners to Stonehenge for local honey, spice blends, pastas, and jellies. My main issues with Stonehenge include the remarkably short shelf life of their produce (my bosc pears liquefied within two days of purchase), and their lack of fresh cuts of meat (all local meats at Stonehenge are frozen). I can overlook the Faygo®. But if ever a Detroit-style coney island opens up in Boise, consider my bags packed. *** CASH OR CHECK ONLY ***

Natural Grocers was the OG. Before Whole Foods, Sprouts, and before the Boise Cooperative, it was Natural Grocers. It's a great story, look it up and read about Margaret and Phillip Islely, their $200 bucks, and their dream. I've visited several times, and while it may still have a following, it gets lost in the ever-expanding sections of your traditional grocers. It wasn't long ago, that you would NOT see vegan cheese in the cheese aisle, or plant-based meats in the meat section, but now they are there, whether it's something you eat or not. The vegetable and fruit section is smaller than the Co-Op at the Village but sometimes it's good to have a second chance. The vitamin section as well as the community hang-out section to the right when you walk in should not be missed. One thing that often gets missed is that some shoppers see these grocers as vegan or vegetarian. While it's true that they stock vegan and vegetarian items, they also have organic meats and meat products.
