NAMPA FARMERS’ MARKET opening day is
APRIL 28, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm. (YEAH) Opening Day music will be provided by Mom
& Double Image, with the Beet City Bombers Roller Derby Team rolling
through the market around 10:00 am or so!
The Nampa
Farmers’ Market vendors have been gearing up for the 2018 market since January. Of special interest to many people is the
question of what produce might be
available opening day. Well, that is
dependent on what Mother Nature brings our way.
The word from several produce
vendors is that a number of greens
(spinach, swiss chard, etc), beets, onions, cabbage, kale, carrots and a
variety of other cool weather veggies are sprouting and will hopefully be
ready by the 28th. There should also be a variety of starter plants
available, including, possibly, some raspberry and blackberry starts.
Can’t forget there should also be asparagus available on Opening Day! YUM!
Have you ever eaten pan seared asparagus with garlic and lemon
juice? This is such an easy way to
prepare asparagus and tastes fantastic!
Another
group of vendors that has been busy all
winter is our jam and jelly makers.
They have been processing all those berries and fruits into the
wonderful selection of jams and jellies that are available at the Nampa
Farmers’ Market!
The craft
vendors haven’t been sitting idly by, either. New
jewelry designs, embroidery, soaps, doll clothes, yard art, crochet, knitted
and sewn clothing, and so many other items have emerged over the winter, it is
impossible to list them all.

calendars for April 28. You can also
