A Memorable Weekend at Nampa Market

By Mercie Hallow

After a full back aching week of work in your office or the tiresome studying in the confines of a classroom, a relaxing weekend is very much waited for. Weekends are best spent with family and close friends where one can be themselves and relax, have fun and release the mind from worries and stress. A great weekend is usually spent in the outdoors fishing or just a simple picnic in a nearby park. A well planned weekend getaway is the fondest pacifier for a whole week of pure work.

The Nampa Farmers Market located in Idaho is a busy area in the Historical part of Idaho's downtown, located between 1st street south and Front Street. The Market generally opens from 9 in the morning up to 1 in the afternoon during May to October. Farmers from the near towns flock the market to showcase their wide array of wares, goods and produce. Vendors are encouraged to comply with a formal application to take part of the Nampa Farmers Market vendor association. Nampa locals and other buyers keep on coming back in the market to enjoy their business with their usual suppliers and sellers.

A weekend morning in the Nampa Farmers Market is a perfect way to introduce young ones and show them the dynamic life in being inside the market. In here, your kids will personally see for themselves the celebrated produce of the market straight from a farmer's farm. Honey, vegetables, jams and other garden produce are sold very fresh at fair market price. Some vendors were in their professionalism establishing close bonds with their usual customers whom they treat fondly.

The Nampa Farmers Market has an interesting history to tell as well. It all began in 1989 where there are only three vendors and customers are quite few. But in the late 90's the market was decisively relocated to the historical downtown Idaho at the front of the Historical Museum. Since then the vendor's number started to average 40 to 50 per week. Dance and musical entertainment is also a backdrop in the market for the shoppers experience.

Shopping at the Nampa Farmers Market is indeed a grand experience thats a sin to miss.
