It was a very rainy day in last April when we visited the Bonners Ferry Farmers Market. This did impede us or the local vendors from "The Show Must Go On" adage. There was a fairly large group of marker goers, and sales were brisk. We do think this was the first market day of the season.
Bonners Ferry Farmers Market is one of the oldest farmers markets in the state of Idaho and started in 1980 as the Boundary County Farmers Market with the help of our County Extension Agent, Ben Studer.
The original site (at the fairgrounds) was fiercely windy and hard to find, and in a few years we moved to our location in the city parking lot which is more convenient for customers and vendors alike. The beautiful Bonners Ferry area is scenic and in the summer many many tourists stop through the market for a taste of local color. We have grown from a few hardy souls selling produce and bare-root plants to an average of nearly 30 vendors per market day.
In 2004 we added a Holiday Market in November showcasing holiday gifts, winter produce, and local artisans. This was such a success we have added it to our yearly calendar.
