What a busy month August has been! There are so many wonderful activities happening throughout our community, and we love being a part of the excitement.

August is Idaho Farmers Market Month, and the Jerome Farmers Market is celebrating! This Saturday, we will be gifting reusable market bags to our patrons. They are perfect for carrying fresh produce, a loaf of bread, or whatever treasures you happen to discover while visiting our vendors.

And there will be plenty to fill them with!

This week, we will continue to have some of the wonderful flavors of summer, including sweet corn, watermelon and peaches. We’re also adding pears, nectarines, more tomatoes and cantaloupe to the list. The peppers are waking up too, and the variety at the market just keeps getting better as the gardens continue producing.

With school starting next week, it’s also a great time to pick up a few things for the students in your life. Find fresh produce and baked goodies for lunches, check out the tie-dye clothing, and browse the many handmade and one-of-a-kind items our vendors bring each week.

Come hungry, because we will also have two food vendors on hand for lunch! Grab something delicious, find a shady spot, visit with friends and enjoy a little time at the market before the rush of another school year begins.

The Jerome Farmers Market is open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Moss Greenhouses, 269 South 300 East in Jerome.

We are proud to be the only Jerome Farmers Market, and we love seeing our community come together each Saturday. Come fill a reusable bag, enjoy a wonderful lemonade, visit with your neighbors and see what August has brought to the market.

We’ll see you Saturday!
