Bonners Ferry Farmers Market honored

September 10, 2013
The Bonners Ferry Farmers Market, which fill the city parking lot each Saturday from May through September, has been recognized as one of the top farmers markets in the nation by the website, The Daily Meal.

One of only two Idaho farmers markets so recognized, the other being one in Boise, the Bonners Ferry Farmers Market was ranked at 94 in the top 101.

"Not far from the Kootenai River and with a 360-degree view of snow-tipped mountains, the Bonners Ferry Farmers' Market is one of Idaho’s oldest farmers’ markets, dating back to the 1980s," they wrote. "More than 30 years later, the market still offers the highest-quality food and plants from the area, including huckleberries and huckleberry honey, seven freshly baked varieties of bagels, and perennials, as well as a unique collection of specialty items and crafts like sugar and salt scrubs, log and antler furniture, and hand-sewn aprons and tablecloths."

The top farmers market in the food and drink website poll went to possibly the nation's most famous, Pike Place Market in Seattle.
