A Day in The Nampa Farmers Market

By Mercie Hallow

After a full week of working behind some office desk or studying in a confined classroom a relaxing weekend is very much anticipated. Weekends are best spent with family and friends where one can relax, have fun and release the mind fro worries and stress of work and studies. A great weekend is usually spent outdoors on a fishing trip, or a picnic in a nearby park or a family strolls in the mall. A well-planned weekend getaway is the best neutralizer for a whole week of working.

The Nampa Farmers Market in Idaho is a busy area in the historical downtown Idaho, located between 1st Street South and Front Street. The Market opens on Saturdays from 9 in the morning until 1 in the afternoon during May to October. Farmers from nearby places flock the market early to display their wares, goods and produce. Vendors are encouraged to sign up a formal application form before being a part of the vendors association in Nampa Farmers Market. Nampa locals and other buyers keep coming back every weekend to meet with their favorite suppliers and sellers.

A weekend morning at the Nampa Farmers Market is a grand way to bring your kids in and show the dynamic but enjoyable life inside the Market. The kids will face to face see for themselves the beautiful and delicious produce straight from a farmers harvest. Honey, vegetables, jams and other garden produce are sold fresh and a pocket-friendly price at the market. Some sellers were able to establish bonds with their favored customers and treat them as close friends nearly a family.

The Nampa Farmers Market has an interesting history to tell as well. It all began in 1989 where there are only three vendors and customers are quite few. But in the late 90's the market was decisively relocated to the historical downtown Idaho at the front of the Historical Museum. Since then the vendor's number started to average 40 to 50 per week. Dance and musical entertainment is also a backdrop in the market for the shoppers experience.

Shopping at the Nampa Farmers Market is indeed a grand experience thats a sin to miss.
