Meet the farmers event Thursday

The Panhandle Farm Corridor, a collective of 16 North Idaho farms, is holding a festival from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Red Canoe Blueberry Farm in Hauser.

The event offers a chance for the community to meet local farmers and ranchers.

“It’s an amazing opportunity to find out who we are and what we offer, right in your own backyard,” said Betty Mobbs of Lazy JM Ranch. “It's an opportunity to love local.”

Attendees can browse and purchase from producers of grass-fed beef, pastured pork and chicken, eggs, Alpaca fiber products, lavender flowers and body products, and more.

Lone Mountain Farms brewery will have beer sampling. Live music is provided by Emily Benjamin Music. Blueberry picking will also be open.
