Boise Farmers Market 2025 season coming soon!
applications open in mid-january 2025
So what is the boise farmers’ market all about?
The Boise Farmers Market (BFM) is a local, food-centric farmers market.
Wait, aren’t all farmers markets created equal? Well, not quite. We are dedicated to supporting our local farmers, ranchers and producers who work tirelessly to contribute nutrient dense, low-mileage food and goods to our community. Our commitment to this principle is reflected in the high ratios of agriculture-based vendors at BFM. It’s an important distinction because it means our customers are here to shop and fill their family tables with locally grown, raised and made goods all week long. It also means that our hand-picked artisans offer items they make themselves with an emphasis on handcrafted garden, kitchen or food-related goods. Our vendors can be relied upon to embody the ethic of the market, which is to foster and sustain local food systems by thinking seasonally and using locally-grown ingredients in their products. Priority is always given to those who go above and beyond in supporting their fellow small-scale farmers, ranchers and makers.
BFM is always looking for vendors who share our enthusiasm for showcasing the versatility and range of food grown right here in our beautiful region. Does this sound like the place for you?
