In a ceremony held at the Nampa Farmers Market, Nampa Mayor Debbie Kling issued a proclamation naming July 13th as “Nampa Farmers Market Day” in honor of the Market’s 35th birthday.
Joined by Nampa Farmers Market Board President Bob Wagner, Secretary Niccole Perrine, Treasurer Michele Alidjani, Board Members Micah Ladd, Josh Cook and Market Manager Jeralynne Bobinski, Mayor Kling read the declaration after opening remarks from Wagner.
Wagner said that the Nampa Farmers Market was founded on July 15th, 1989 by John and Afine Relk with just three Vendors, bringing in a total of $6000 for the season. The Market has grown to over 200 Vendors and brought in over a million dollars in total sales in 2023 and is on track this season to shatter that record.
Kling said that the Market’s success isn’t by accident. It comes as a result of hard work. “This is small business at it’s best and I love it.”
