Boise Farmers Market — Local services in Boise

I used to enjoy this market. The vendors are quality and I love supporting local producers. I can no longer support this farmers market because of the extreme stance against traditional values and their pandering to health agencies.

I don't care how "nice" or "cordial" or "community involved" a drag queen is, that adult entertainment ideology has no business at a "family friendly" farmers market let alone being elevated and honored. It's disgusting and this pandering seals the deal for me to never visit this market again.

I wasn't afforded the freedom, individuality, "alternate lifestyle" and individuality to NOT wear a mask during the CV19 fiasco but this delusional man in over the top dress and make up is supported, welcomed and defended. Clearly those that run this market have traded common sense for virtue signaling.

Thankfully there are dozens of other truly family friendly markets that support traditional values and keep their market focused on the farmer-to-customer relationship without agendas. I hope the vendors realize they have other options... that they don't have to associate with an organization who doesn't hold their values in order to be successful.

BFM, don't bother responding to this review. I've read your responses to other reviewers who disagree with your choices. It is clear you are agenda driven (DEI, allyship, all those ESG, social buzz words). While I may be welcome at your market I will choose to spend my money elsewhere and I will encourage other citizens and vendors to as well. My review will likely not make a dent in your attendence, but at least people will have the option to make...

The Boise Farmer's Market is such a great place to visit on Saturday mornings in Boise. There is plenty of fresh, local produce, meats, cheeses and fresh baked bread, in addition to great local coffee, lemonade and other refreshments. I recently participated in Shop with a Chef, a once a month event where a small group shops the market with a local chef, who has several menu items planned to prepare. We browsed a number of booths and learned about local vendors while gathering materials for a meal (and sampling yummy food along the way). Then the chef brought us over to his booth where we used the local ingredients to put together a delicious zucchini salad and lamb sliders. I loved getting inspiration for ways to use the ingredients at the market. I didn't realize there was so much fresh, local cheese, seasoning blends, meat, flowers, etc - I normally thought of the market as a place to get fresh veggies but you can truly put together an entire meal with a shop at the market. There is so much at the market, and the food tastes so much better than the grocery store because it is so...

You will know the source of your food! My cats rave about the catnip!! The dog munches on a delicious knuckle bones & this week I bought chicken necks. She will get 1 frozen (uncooked) neck every afternoon.

Support local businesses & growers. EBT accepted.

Top notch, #1 place for fresh from the field produce and SO much more! Order Tuesday morning, choose Saturday pick up time, place note with last name, order number, and truck or back seat note on your dashboard & drive thru. Super easy & efficient.

This week for Christmas gifts I purchased body butters, cuticle cream, spritz cookies, Blackberry hard cider, and Grump Scrumpy cider. This time of year is a bit limited in produce but still met our needs.

I’ve purchased produce, beef, salmon, fresh pasta, herbs, micro greens, fresh bread to name a few things. You will not be disappointed in the huge selection of items! Mexican tamales, pastries, fresh eggs, wild game, duck, personal care, candles and...
