Jerome Farmers Market

 Hello Summer! Fresh Flavors and Local Favorites at the Jerome Farmers Market

Summer is officially here, and so is the vibrant bounty of the season! Join us this Saturday at the Jerome Farmers Market for another weekend of fresh produce, artisan goods, and community fun.

We’re expecting more Bing cherries this week, and if we’re lucky—Rainier cherries and apricots too! Our tables will also feature blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, bringing a sweet burst of color to your summer table.

Broccoli is just beginning to appear, potatoes are blooming, and soon, we’ll be overloaded with garden-fresh goodness.

Come meet some of our amazing vendors:

• Sharon offers a tasting of her pure maple syrups—from light to dark, they’re all delicious.

• Linda brings her famous pickled treasures, perfect for your pantry.

• Ashley has freeze-dried candies—fun for the kids and perfect for road trips!

• Whitney and her girls whip up healthy desserts that are just as fun as they are tasty.

• Danise offers multi-flavored caramels, and Christine tempts with decadent caramel corn and plenty of other treats to sample.

And don’t forget—Moss Greenhouse is still offering deep discounts on hanging baskets and flowers. It's a great time to brighten your garden or porch!

We’re open Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM at Moss Greenhouses, located at 269 South 300 East in Jerome. Bring your friends, your appetite, and your love for all things local—we’ll see you there!

The Jerome Farmers Market is really moving along. This Saturday will bring the last of the asparagus, rhubarb and radishes. We have BEAUTIFUL BING CHERRIES!!! Moss Greenhouse will continue bringing their fabulous baskets of flowers and you have got to come and see some of our talented vendors. Roseann Everson has the most delightful and affordable windsocks. Chris Underwood has fabulous patriotic and garden metal art. Try Julianna’s heart pancakes with all kinds of toppings. Virginia is a tamale specialist and Jill Crozier makes some fabulous tarts and breakfast rolls. Pick up some patriotic art from Dierre Thiessen. You can use those all summer long. Lisa has artisan breads and take note that the Jerome Civic Club will be there with their pies and wares. They are just like Mom used to make. 

We are open Saturday from 9-1 and are located at Moss Greenhouses at 269 South & 300 East. It’s a wonderful place to meet your friends.

We’re excited to welcome you back this Saturday for the official opening day of the market—and this year, we have more vendors than ever before!

HB144-Small Sellers Exemption

As of yesterday, I visited the State of Idaho Tax Commission office in Twin Falls and learned the following. Gov Brad Little is signing into law effectively July 1, 2025 that small farmers market businesses cumulative gross receipts from sales not exceeding $5,000 in the current or previous calendar year do not have to collect or remit Idaho sales or use tax. 

Because many markets are starting before that date, the tax change includes markets predating the July 1st date. 

If annual sales exceed $3,000, sellers must keep sales records for at least 4 years. 

Small sellers are still required to file individual Idaho income tax returns if they meet state filing requirements under Section 63-3030, Idaho Code. 

Business entities: partnerships, corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs) do not qualify. 

Exceeding the $5,000 Threshold: if gross receipts surpass $5,000:

• Apply for a temporary seller’s permit within 30 days or

• Become a registered retailer by obtaining an Idaho Seller’s Permit

• Begin collecting and remitting sales & use tax. 

If you are above the limit and need to register with our farmers market, I have registered it with the state tax commission and you can go to tax.idaho.gov/gototap

to register and can call me at (208)731-8394 for the Event ID number. That needs to be done prior to the market opening date on June 7th. We look forward to seeing you and are pleased with this bit of help for our smaller vendors.  Have a SUPER week!  Kathy

 Welcome to Spring! The days are getting softer, flowers are beginning to bloom and apricot trees send out the intoxicating sweetness accompanied by the humming of the bees. To walk into any greenhouse you can enjoy the delightful smells of beautiful flowers. It lightens the heart and brings untold joy. The smell of freshly turned soil and the beginning of cut grass truly smells heavenly.

The Jerome Farmers Market at Moss Greenhouses will begin in a very short time. The grounds are prepped and planting will begin in earnest this week and next. It’s a good hard work after a cold stagnating winter. Muscles get tired, but accomplishment feels good. 

The vendors are coming forward, working hard to get ready and as always, there are always new additions to each year. From now to opening day, we will recognize vendors, introduce you to them and showcase our wonderful sponsors.

So many really fine people come together to bring this activity to our area and hundreds of hours are worked harmoniously to make this such a very excellent place to be on Saturday mornings. Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 7th for our opening day. It will do your heart good to sample fine products, take home healthy food, and visit with old friends.
