Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I bring my dog to the market?

While we love dogs, they are not allowed at the market due to health and safety concerns. Please leave your pups at home: the asphalt surface heats up quickly in the summer months and we also do not want to see dogs left in hot cars.

is this market accessible?

We are a fully accessible and ADA compliant market. ADA parking can be found near the Spa Street entrance to the farmers market, look at the map here.

Eek! I forgot cash but my favorite vendor only accepts green. What do I do?

You can purchase Market Fresh Bucks at the Information Booth! These are wooden tokens that are as good as cash, and are in $5 increments. There is just a $1 fee for purchasing these wooden tokens!

Boise Farmers Market is a “rain or shine” market.” Come shop with us regardless of the weather.
