Farmers Market top 100 in country

Not often does Bonners Ferry make a nationwide top 100 list. The Bonners Ferry Farmers Market was recently recognized by The Daily Meal as the 94th best farmer’s market in the nation.

Only two farmers’ markets in Idaho made the top 100 — Bonners Ferry at 94 and Capital City Public Market in Boise at 39. Pike Place Farmers’ Market in Seattle was named the top market in the country.The Daily Meal said this about the Bonners Ferry Farmers Market:

“Not far from the Kootenai River and with a 360-degree view of snow-tipped mountains, the Bonners Ferry Farmers' Market is one of Idaho’s oldest farmers’ markets, dating back to the 1980s,” the Daily Meal wrote. “More than 30 years later, the market still offers the highest-quality food and plants from the area, including huckleberries and huckleberry honey, seven freshly baked varieties of bagels, and perennials, as well as a unique collection of specialty items and crafts like sugar and salt scrubs, log and antler furniture, and hand-sewn aprons and tablecloths.”

Only a few weeks remain for the Bonners Ferry Farmers Market with the annual Harvest Festival finale on Saturday, Oct. 5. Check out what is happening at the farmer’s market on Saturdays between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. in the city parking lot.
