Farmer's market fun

Swing into summer by heading to your local farmer’s market! The farmer’s market is an excellent way to support local farmers, get nutritious and delicious seasonal foods, make cooking fun, and be a champion for sustainability and the farm to table movement. Knowing where your food actually comes from can be empowering in terms of your personal health and the environment in which we live. Chatting with the vendor where you buy your food can be an educational experience, and local farmers are often happy to share their farming techniques and practices used in crop and livestock production. Although healthy foods are often perceived as more expensive, the farmer’s market often offers equal or lower prices than competing supermarkets. In addition, the Kootenai County Farmer’s Market accepts food stamps dollars. Stock up on locally seasonal produce right now, such as leafy greens, asparagus, beets, carrots, fresh herbs, onions, radishes and rhubarb.
