One of my favorite hyper-local places in the Eagle area. We buy almost all of our honey here now --…read moreespecially the clover and multifloral varieties. The multifloral honey is also great for local allergies, which is a huge bonus around here. If you have kiddos, this place is extra fun because they sometimes have a live hive in the store where you can watch the bees and try to spot the queen. My daughter loved this. I would definitely call ahead first though because the hive setup changes and sometimes hives have to be moved or replaced due to disease or seasonal issues. We also buy their honey sticks in bulk -- literally 100 at a time. They are the perfect car snack, hiking backpack snack, or little treat to keep on hand. Our whole family goes through them constantly. They're at local farmers markets too, but honestly I love driving out to the ranch itself. There's something peaceful about the whole setting -- seeing the open land, horses wandering around looking like they're walking through the clouds, and getting to pet their sweet dog while picking up honey. It just feels very Idaho in the best way.

Our group of two adults and two young children took a "tour" of the Steele bee hives, and it was…read moretotally fun and informative. In 2 hours we learned about where Steele rents its hives; how to open and inspect a hive; and how to recognize the queen bee from the drones and worker bees. We were even challenged to find the queen in two hives. We got to sample a small bit of honey directly from the frame, and it was delicious. Our guide Goose was amazing - very interactive with the youngsters, helpful and patient. We highly recommend this fun experience to anyone interested in learning more about bees, what an apiary does, or just more about Idaho agriculture. Oh, the honey is delicious and you can purchase some to take home at the end of your activity.

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).

First time here for my wife and I, recent transplants from CA. While construction is going on, the…read moremarket relocated to City Hall, on E Civic Lane. 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.

Live music, food & drink-- & vendors of all kinds- every Saturday in Heritage Park, downtown Eagle…read more Come check out all of the local vendors during their extended hours of 9AM-2PM (later than many other markets.) Lots of free parking options nearby, bike rack available within the park, & disability scooter friendly. Also note that they have yearly fall & winter markets too

Old Fashioned Fruit & Veg in Boise has three locations. Two in Boise, and one in Kuna. I have…read morevisited both Boise locations. Last year, I visited the location on Cloverdale Road. I thought it was nice. Last week, I visited the location on Broadway Avenue. It's far exceeded my expectations! The variety and quality of the fruit and vegetables was outstanding. It is the best produce stand I have seen in Idaho. I spent $35 on fresh produce, including morel mushrooms, local purple asparagus, plums, strawberries, Rainer cherries, and several apple varieties. I forgot to take a picture of the strawberries, which were the best I've tasted in ages. The last time I saw produce this outstanding was at one of my favorite businesses in Washington state. That business gets a lot of their fruits and vegetables from Charlie's Produce, as does Fred Meyer's. As it turns out, so does Old Fashioned Fruit & Veg. If you're a produce nerd like me, that will mean something to you. The employees were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Open daily from 9 AM to 7 PM. Highly Recommended!!! P.S. if you look at all of the photos, the first 12 of the 92 were posted by someone else. The remaining 80 photos + the ones below were taken by me on 6/10/23.

Amazing fruit stand, but it has the worst customer service team. I've been shopping here for my…read morefruits and veggies for years now and until these last few months, the lady behind the cash register is absolutely rude, obnoxious and condescending. I've never been spoken to like this while purchasing fruits and vegetables before. Ask a single question and get an ear full of attitude. If you don't like working there, then just quit. Don't take it out on the loyal and returning customers! Nancy B. was right, very grumpy employees.
