Winter is here and the fields are resting after working hard all Spring, Summer and Fall to produce a beautiful and delicious harvest.

Our Farmers Market is moving!
We have LOVED the Crouches and Crossroads Point Business Center. They have been so wonderful to us. The location has been amazing and we have met so many good friends and customers. The decision to move hasn't been an easy one. Crossroads Point Business Center has helped us get established. They have been the best hosts and supporters of the market. They have offered sound advice and have always been willing to lend a hand. Their integrity is the finest and they are and will always be dear friends. The development is beginning out there and we hope they sell the lots in leaps and bounds!
We are moving 2 miles North on Highway 93 to The Mountain View Barn. The Mountain View Barn property has:
1. 5.8 acres of historic property with a large barn on the West side. Not only will this barn serve as a beautiful backdrop to our market but it will also serve as a windbreak to our vendors. The 40 mile an hour winds that we get during the Summer can destroy our tents and this will temper that sweet Idaho wind and protect the vendors a bit more.
2. The property is shaded by towering cottonwood trees. It can get fairly warm in the Summer and we will be on several acres of grass with close parking nearby. We will have access to potable water and restroom facilities.
3. With this move our customers can come to the Mountain View Barn on a Saturday and peruse the Market and even get a bite to eat at the Barn's Coffee Shop. The Mountain View Barn is a charming and historical part of Jerome County and as much as we will miss the The Crossroads Point Business Center, we are excited to begin this new journey. We hope that you come out and visit us this Summer!
We are excited to share with you our many wonderful and talented vendors.
From delicious homemade breads, jams, cupcakes, cookies, freshly popped kettle corn, homespun spices and spreads, smoked meats...
...to tupperware, handmade baby blankets, clothes, baby accessories, uniquely designed t-shirts, books, western wear and more.
We are so proud of all the local talent we are able to showcase here at the
Farmers Market at the Crossroads Point Business Center!

I have the most beautiful big sunflowers growing in my yard. I love this time of year with all the rich colors and deep hues of Fall. Below is a picture of some of my freshly cut sunflowers...
...and I LOVE them!!
Roasted In-Shell Sunflower Seeds Recipe...
If you grow your own sunflowers, the flowers will tell you when they are ready. They'll be droopy, and the petals around the center will be dried. The seeds should be clearly visible. The best seeds for eating come from the larger varieties of sunflowers. Just cut away the flower head from the stalk, place the flower head on a flat surface, and rub the center to dislodge the seeds from the flower. If squirrels and birds can get to these seeds, so can you!
These directions are for salted, roasted sunflower seeds. If you don't want them salted, just rinse them off and roast them. Because they aren't soaked through with water, they'll roast much more quickly, perhaps only a few minutes at 400°F.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup raw in-shell sunflower seeds
- 2 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt, or 2 Tbsp table salt*
- 1 quart water
* Add more or less salt to taste, up to 1/4 cup Kosher salt for 1 quart of water.
