8 Farmers Markets in Idaho That You Shouldn't Miss

February 10, 2022 Velvet Champine

A mixture of forested mountains, alpine peaks, wildflower meadows, deep river canyons, and high plains deserts, Idaho is a paradise for golf, skiing, fly fishing, and river rafting. Boise, the capital, is the state's largest city and airline hub. North of Boise are golf, lake, and ski resorts from McCall in the south to Sandpoint and Coeur D'Alene in the north. East of Boise are the ski slopes of Ketchum and Sun Valley. East of Sun Valley are Craters of the Moon National Monument, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and the small town of Island Park just across the border from Yellowstone National Park. Boise's Basque Museum and Cultural Center reflects having the largest Basque population in the U.S. Reflecting Idaho's diverse heritage, near the Idaho Historical Museum in Boise's Julia Davis Park is the Idaho Black History Museum's chronicle of the slave York who served the Lewis & Clark Expedition. After a family visit to the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey and an outdoor performance at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, the next stop after Boise is likely to be Payette Lake in McCall or Sun Valley and Ketchum. About 100 miles north of Boise, past Cascade Lake, McCall takes you to the shores of Payette Lake. Go golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, waterskiing, sailing, boating, or whitewater river rafting. Ski or snowshoe Brundage Mountain or Tamarack Resorts, as well as Ponderosa State Park in winter. Ice skate year-round at Manchester Ice & Event Centre. About 450 miles north of Boise, there are resort lakes near skiing and golf at Coeur d'Alene, Hayden Lake, and Sandpoint. Golf, tennis, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, rafting, and hunting are popular in Sun Valley and Ketchum. Sockeye salmon may no longer do much spawning in Redfish Lake, but the boating and mountain scenery in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area make the short trip north to Stanley worthwhile. When the snows come the whole family will head for the slopes of Soldier Mountain, Bald Mountain, Dollar Mountain, or the Sun Valley Resort. A tiny forested town of about 250 people, Island Park has a large reservoir with fishing and boating, as well as Henry's Fork of the Snake River for fly fishing. It's only 15 miles from Yellowstone as well.

Nice Fruit Stand, many choices. Love Smiley's Pickles! Went there a few yrs ago and discovered them and made a special trip this time just for the pickles and was delighted they still had them. They have so many other products too as well as hand cream, and olives and of course fruit. Love this place and glad they are still open during the pandemic. It is a pretty drive as well.

U-Pick Red Barn

Reviewed By Annawarden

We had the best time! My three children loved jumping on the jump pillows, going down the giant slide, riding the train, playing in the corn. Prices are super reasonable. $5 per person to enjoy the activity area. They have REAL KITTENS you can pet and hold in the barn. Wide selection of pumpkins for a fair price. It will continue to be a treasured fall activity for our family.

Best pie. Wonderful crust and delicious filling. You can buy by the slice or whole pies. We had Marion-berry, coconut cream, apple and strawberry rhubarb. The strawberry rhubarb was exceptional. Since heading back to Eagle we tried a beautiful store bought strawberry rhubarb and then one from Boise pie company. Neither one compares. It’s a simple place that also sells organic produce, chips and salsa. But really, it’s the pies!
