Boise Farmers Market moves to Idaho Botanical Garden for winter

The Boise Farmers Market is now operating from the Idaho Botanical Garden. Shoppers can access the market at 2355 Old Penitentiary Road in Boise. Admission to the venue is free. The move provides a new location for residents seeking locally produced goods during the colder months.

The market has a long history in the Treasure Valley. It recently began its 2026 Winter Market season. This season marks the first time the winter market is held at the Idaho Botanical Garden. The new site includes a large covered shopping area. This structure houses more than 40 vendors. Additional vendors operate in outdoor spaces at the site.

More than 70 local producers are participating in this season. These vendors sell seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs. They also offer locally raised beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and turkey. Farmers provide farm-fresh eggs and locally produced cheese. Bakers sell fresh breads, pastries, cookies, and other baked goods. Vendors also stock homemade jams, soups, pasta, and specialty foods. Handmade items for kitchens, homes, and gardens are available for purchase. Coffee and prepared foods are offered for those who wish to eat while shopping.

The market will run every Saturday through December 19, 2026. This schedule continues until the winter season ends. A drive-through ordering option is available for customers. This service allows people to preorder items for pickup. The option helps shoppers secure specific products before they sell out. The market website is TheBoiseFarmersMarket.com.

The market offers a place to find locally made items for the holiday season. Christmas is approaching, and vendors provide gifts and food for the upcoming holidays. The location at the Idaho Botanical Garden is open for the public. The market continues its support for local farmers, ranchers, and small-business owners. The event remains a key part of the local food scene in Boise.
